That isn't an option. The F-22 isn't capable of flying off a carrier or operating in a VSTOL environment. The Navy and Marines need new airplanes too. The F-35 isn't as good at dog fighting as the F-22, but it has better ground attack capability. Arguably if you were to kill a program, it would be the F-22 not the F-35, since it is a multi-role aircraft and can fill and thus more capable.
