There are a lot of legit worries about what the Old Orange Felon is doing, but those worried about things that require amending the Constitution need to take a deep breath and chill out for awhile. It hasn't been amended in 33 years, the last amendment took 202 years to ratify. The last modern amendment was ratified 54 years ago, to correct the wartime injustice of "you're old enough to kill, but not for voting".
Amending the Constitution is not for the faint of heart. It takes two-thirds of both houses to propose an amendment and then three-fourths of the states to ratify it. That is why, after the Bill of Rights was ratified, it was only amended seventeen times (and one of them was a repeal amendment).
In this current day and age, the idea that two-thirds of both houses of Congress are going to agree on anything and then three-quarters of the states will follow suit is somewhere between naive and laughable. And it certainly isn't going to happen if the Supreme Private Bone Spurs wants it or if some low-wattage corrupt congressman who is trying to kiss his royal anus proposes it.
So chill.
