Well if we want to really go into constitutional interp, the military has no power to remove a sitting president.
But if elections do not occur a person doesn’t continue to be the president, additionally a 3rd term is banned by the constitution.
If Trump were to “cancel” elections, a power he doesn’t even have, the law is clear. He would still lose the presidency. It would then pass to the speaker of the house per the constitutional line of succession.
At that point the military would have a choice to make.
Of course these are big ifs, laws only matter if they are followed. And this scenario requires the law to be broken to even occur. Shits bad

The military literally takes an oath to uphold the Constitution.
Donald Trump is wiping his ass with the Constitution. There couldn’t be anything more Contritutional for the military to do.
I don’t remember a single line in the Constitution stating the military has the power to remove a sitting president.
At least the scenario I described was constitutional.
That’s the neat part about an oath to the Constitution, you can’t break it to save it. That would be outside of that very oath.
