The actual process is to appoint new SCOTUS judges and they just re-interpret the meaning to your liking. No legislation required.

Get re-elected while solving no problems. "Half" the population will always vote for you because the alternative is socialist/fascist. It's a version of the lazy google engineer [1] that makes less money but has potential for national fame and maybe some insider trading. If the legislature was getting screwed by this arrangement there would be a lot less deadlock in congress and the power of the judicial branch would be relatively less. And somehow this take is somehow less cynical then yours? What a world we live in. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2JaAnMMo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2JaAnMMo0
