WI double vacancy Presidential elections in odd years

WI both a President and VP died or ceasded to be in office some time before the 1880s. The law provied for a special election for afull term that Fall.

There are lots of ways that could have happened.

Would there be a further amendment to the constitution to make Congressional and Presdiential terms fit together.
 
Depends when it happened.

Before the Civil War quite a few Congressional elections weren't held until well into the odd-numbered year. So it wouldn't have mattered much when the Presidential canvass was held. Later than that, I'd expect an Act either moving the election to the next even-numbered year, or else abolishing it entirely.
