“The actual words are in the Declaration of Independence - the type of document which prevails when a constitution no longer does/should.”

Bearing in mind I’m questioning “Whether or not “...those currently in positions of leadership (can) be expected to openly come out with such clarity if the Founders themselves were reluctant to...” (Post 101, I infer your response is that they can’t be expected to because because it’s already been stated and doesn’t need to be restated.

Right. The Declaration of Independence already stated it, and with great clarity. A Constitution is not expected to have a blatant statement amounting to “and if this all doesn’t work out, you can just terminate everyone trying to implement it”. Between the DoI and 2ndA, it’s pretty darn clear for something that shouldn’t need saying.
