However, what if people were to vote in a Republican, 3/4ths majority in the House & Senate, with a republican president. Passing a constitutional amendment would be possible without the other side's consent.
What if both sides were bought into passing an amendment to the constitution?
Should citizens have the means to defend themselves against a corrupt government? I admit, these are outside possibilities. However, do you think the framers of the constitution had it in mind when planning this country? They had just undergone a break from a tyranical government, I could see it being possible.
