1. The President doesn't have the power to move or cancel elections.

2. In order to invoke martial law the President would need the permission of every state he wanted to declare martial law in.

3. Martial law doesn't give the President the power to circumvent the term limit or extend his term.

4. Nobody has the power to stop a President elect from becoming President after the elections. Congress would have to wait until she was sworn in, and then begin the impeachment process. Which, if successful, would make Tim Kaine President.

all you need to do is declare a state of emergency and bam election canceled.

 

 

''A government or division of government (i.e. on a municipal, provincial/state level) may declare that their area is in a state of emergency. This means that the government can suspend and/or change some functions of the executive, the legislative and/or the judiciary during this period of time.''

 

''It can also be used as a rationale (or pretext) for suspending rights and freedoms guaranteed under a country's constitution or basic law. The procedure for and legality of doing so varies by country.''

 

thats all it takes 

Naw, this does not fall into the President jurisdiction.

The President may declare a state of emergencyonly when "the life of the nation is threatened by war, invasion, general insurrection, disorder, naturaldisaster or other public emergency" and if the ordinary laws and government powers are not sufficient to restore peace and order.

Obama would still need to call for Martial Law and then he would need to get every state to accept it.  Its such a long shot that its not even close to being a reality.  Even if he could effect Martial Law, no armed force is required to do anything that goes against the constitution as is written already.  So nope this is still way way out there for any president to be able to do.
