the question is how he thinks he is going to stay there.
Constitutional term limits: The Constitution sets the end of the presidential term for noon on January 20, as stated in the 20th Amendment. There are no provisions that would allow a president to stay in office past this date, even in an emergency.
No emergency election powers: While a president can declare a national emergency, none of the special powers triggered by such a declaration grant authority over elections. Any presidential attempt to unilaterally cancel or postpone an election would be illegal.
