4 years presidency.

So that's not inherently guaranteed. The constitution can be amended - hell, term limits themselves come from an amendment, not the original text. I believe there's at least one supreme court justice who doesn't even believe in amendments - if it wasn't in the original text of the constitution, it doesn't count.

Luckily POTUS himself can't legally suspend or delay elections. But I'm pretty sure a sympathetic congress can.
