In reality the US Constitution [as practiced] = US Constitution [the words] + Supreme court decisions + Legislature rules + enforcement + de facto practice/assumptions*. This article focuses just on the first, but we can tackle the others too Supreme court decisions -> discussions of court reform Legislature rules -> e.g. discussions of ending filibuster Enforcement -> Reducing secrecy in government (most places where the US government is just outright ignoring the constitution depends on secrecy) de facto practice -> all this hand-wringing about "norm breaking" really boils down to some assumptions. We don't have a well developed conversation here, but generally these things should be codified.
