We need an experienced Constitutional lawyer to address this question.
I nominate Jay Sekulow of ACLJ fame.
Or we can rely on the plain words of the Constitution.
Please see Post 39
it’s not a hard question. A president has no authority over any part of the state or federal electoral process. None. Heck, DHS has several times complained that the Executive Branch gets no say in elections.
Should some disaster happen, the most a president could do is ask state officials to postpone elections locally.
A president’s term ends regardless. If it ended before an election could be held, the Speaker of the House would act as president.

No, you only need to have a fifth grade reading level, and the willingness to look it up in the Constitution.
