9. 9/11 occurred on the day of the NYS primaries.

Soon thereafter, then-mayor Rudolph Giuliani, proposed to delay the mayoral elections in November, allowing him to continue to "steward" the City as it progressed after the tragedy. (It was his last term as mayor as there are term limits for this office.)

Fortunately, that idea was lambasted and refused.

Michael Bloomberg won the November election and took his oath of office as mayor the following January.

If 9-11 couldn't even delay elections, I can't imagine Trump issuing an executive order as it would be unconstitutional.
