Just not holding elections due to some sort of national emergency is a tried and true method.

No, he'll just issue an executive order that gets rid of term limits. Who's going to remove him?

We held elections in the middle of the Civil War and made sure soldiers could vote. If Lincoln could do it then, we can do it now. I'll fight to make sure we have elections, and I hope others do the same.

Yeah, but Lincoln wanted elections. It's different if the President doesn't want them.
