Without claiming this can happen any time soon but I'm curious : what would happen specifically if the president refuses to relinquish the office after an election? Perhaps the election was contentious but the EC elects his or her successor and the courts uphold this - who would enforce the law and how specifically?

But isn't the Secret Service part of the Department of Homeland Security? Wouldn't the (acting) Secretary be the person ordering at that point?
