By their oaths of service, military folks are required to disobey unlawful orders...
It would depend very much upon the reasons behind "stopping the President" scenario. But the provisions are there.
Marine Corp Oath for Enlisted: I, ____________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
The other branches are all but identical.

Of some democrats. Thank you very much. I happen to be a card carrying member of the Democratic party, and I, in no way, would ever advocate for something this asinine, and downright evil.
Apparently, she is Trump's "nemesis." Lol.

Rumors from where?
There is no way, at all, that Obama can stay in office past Jan. 20th. Even were Trump to somehow be assassinated, his VP would take over. After him come Speaker of the House. Senate Majority Leader. No where in that list does Ex-president come into it, at all.
Any attempt to do so is in direct violation of the Constitution, and would get no support legally from the military, or Congress, or the Supreme Court, or, most especially, the citizens. You wanna wake up the sleeping sheep and turn 'em into a wolf pack? This'd do it. Guarantee it.
Continuity of govt, which is what I assume you're referencing, doesn't include ex-presidents.
