Funny that you should mention this George.
Gary Kreep over at the United States Justice Foundation has this very issue
as one of his current hobby horses.
His bent is a little different than yours might be, however.
He says Obama and Pelosi are trying to rewrite the Constitution through a
Constitutional Convention.
He also seems to need a donation.

Don't they all?

It is correctly observed, "When things can't go on the way they
are -- they won't."

It is to be hoped that when [not if] foundational change in the
existing structure/organization of US governance occurs, it will
be logical controlled "proactive" change, not the expected
chaotic "reactive" change resulting from financial/fiscal
collapse or other catastrophe.
