It would be the equvialent of President Shrillary appointing Rumsfeld Secy of Defense and giving him Presidential powers because Rumsfeld threatened to nuke Washington. That isn't a democracy of any sort.

Yes, actually, it is.

How so? Population elects Person A as president, Person A gives the position to Person B with no election. Thats not democracy.

If you only go as far as you stated, it is still democracy. Appointments are made all the time, not all posts are elected. The step that needs to be taken for it to be non-democratic is for the appointment to be made under threat of reprisal against the citizenry.
