That is an interesting scenario, but one that ignores some current facts that may negate the way you illustrate it.

Since Obama is flagrantly ignoring the Constitution, making his own laws by decree, circumventing all other branches of government, and doing so WITH the help of the media and the consent of Congress and the Judiciary -

- there is very little need for Obama to step down via term limits in 2016. Who will stop him? Who will challenge this defacto dictator from declaring that “The Founders would agree that in this time of crisis that we should not have any change in leadership”?? I mean did Schumer not just say yesterday that “Jefferson would agree that the First Amendment is not absolute”??

ONE major Jihadist attack or a single major upheaval event in the USA between now and 2016 - Obama would assert that excuse to remain in power ‘for the good of the people’.

I think Obama would lose any ‘legitimate-sounding’ excuse to rule if he steps down.

That said - I do not think he is concerned with being in power as much as he is concerned about taking us down and destroying us from within.

If the MarxoFascists think that they need more time to put down Americans - I think your scenario would make sense in terms of Obama continuing to aid the Marxofascists on the side with Hillary in the White House continuing the destruction.

I believe Obama is a Trojan Horse and always has been.

Some points...

1. The United States held elections during the Civil War, both World Wars, the Vietnam war, and both Gulf wars. The arguments at the time were about letting the American people decide what the direction should be? In 2004, it was about deciding whether the people supported Bush and staying in Iraq, or Kerry and changing direction. Obama should not presume that we don't want a change in leadership, he should be asking the people if they want a change in leadership. Making an argument today that the times are too tough to change leadership stands in opposition to all of our prior history.

2. Elections for President are State affairs. The answer to the question of "who will stop him" is the states will stop him. All it will take is for someone to declare their candidacy, and for states to hold their own separate elections between candidates. Once the Electoral College produces a winner, the question will be whether Obama recognizes that winner as the new President, or if he chooses to deny by force the newly elected President from taking power. Obama will not have a ruling power over the sovereign states to prevent them from holding their own elections. There are too many "red" states to expect all the governors and legislatures to just roll over and take it.

That's why I don't expect the flash point to be the 2016 election. That would be too overt and emotional. I expect the flash point to occur after the election, when Obama has a chance to organize his militarized insurgency from the staffers of the bureaucracies that he armed. All Obama will need is for the new president to begin to overturn his legacy changes, and Obama will strike.
