There is no need for the president to submit nominations because there is no set number of justices that must sit on the court. A president can just easily as sit back, if the political partisanship is in his favors, wait for a death, and leave the court 4 to 3 in his favor.
If Hillary wins, Obama will withdraw Garland's nomination. Hillary will later submit Obama's name as a nomination, the Democratic Senate will change its rules of operations at the beginning of the term (there is no constitutional hindrance in doing so), and make Obama a Supreme Court justice.
