From what I remember is that in extreme cases, the Supreme Court can grant some kind of presidential powers during a national emergency to be addressed for a specific amount of time and I think it is outlined in the constitution.
I also think that it was done before like around the civil war... But, I could be wrong...
And at 9-11 didn't NYC delay Bloomberg's inauguration and transfer of power until the crisis was quasi-resolved? Just asking?

Mayor Giuliani offered to stay in office until the crisis was over, but it wasn't necessary. The Mayoral election was held as expected, and Bloomberg was inaugurated. 9/11/01 was actually a primary election day, but that election was postponed for two weeks.
