‘If’n you want to cite that then what’s to [legally] stop some section of America from seizing the Congress while it is in session and forcing them to sign on to Constitutional Amendments? If so, I think I need to raise such a force to get the following 10 Amendments put into the Constitution:’

That would be the US military acting legally to prevent the coup d-etat you describe. By the way, after you succeed with this coup, how are you going to get the politicians in 3/4 of the states to ratify these changes, and who will be running the country in the years before any ratification can be accomplished. I guess you will simply have to establish a personal dictatorship to see things done right, Mr. Cromwell/Mussolini.

Ah, that would be the same military that is legally obligated* to put a stop to the invasion of AZ even without orders from the President OR the consent of the Congress? If they are so obligated to do that, what makes you think that they would act to prevent a such coup d'état?

*Article 4, SECTION. 4. - The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

By the way, after you succeed with this coup, how are you going to get the politicians in 3/4 of the states to ratify these changes, and who will be running the country in the years before any ratification can be accomplished.

I don't understand why you think it would take years.

I guess you will simply have to establish a personal dictatorship to see things done right, Mr. Cromwell/Mussolini.

You know, that's really funny, because I never suggested installing myself as a dictator.
P.S. - What Makes you think that a personal dictatorship would be any less desirable than our current impersonal & bureaucratic dictatorship?
