Remember EO 13083 and how Congress forced Clinton to cancel the order?

Executive Order #13083, which essentially gathers all legislative authority to the Executive Branch and takes it away from state and local governments [not to mention Congress], legitimizes the dozens of federal agencies. By doing so, any president from now on could, by using any number of previously approved emergency measures, use the various federal agencies to help him carry out an order to keep him in office past his constitutional limit. Coupled with 13083, the same provisions of law -- which have allowed every president since FDR unusual, and, shall we say, extra-constitutional authority -- could also be employed during a time of major domestic unrest. Bypassing Congress and making presidential 'executive orders and proclamations' with the full force of law is so commonplace in the latter 20th Century that most Americans think a president has always had this authority. This is just one example of an Executive Order. Hillary would have the same advisors, including her nominal "husband" to help her frame many more.
