Assume that he does this in Late April, because of it being clear that the general is Sanders vs. Trump. He threatens to dissolve congress and SCOTUS too if they try to impeach him or otherwise force him out of office, and to take away all tax dollars from any state that tries to hold the election anyway.

How would congress, the states, the candidates etc. react?

He immediately gets impeached, and if he keeps the idiocy up, he gets removed from office.

Since he'd dissolve congress and SCOTUS, there's no way to remove him outside of the secret service physically forcing him outside the door. And most states would not hold the election, as without tax dollars they'd be bankrupt, so Obama being physically forced out would lead to President John Kerry.

So including Trump in a "who won the debate?" poll infuriates you, but this is a constructive question?
Obama doesn't like Sanders much, and he really hates Sanders's position on guns, and he wouldn't like Trump for very obvious reasons.

It's a slight possibility if it's Sanders vs. Trump.
