I have little faith in the system as it has been completely corrupted. The very concept of a "living constitution" invalidates the Constitution itself. If it is not the supreme law of the land, but instead open to interpretation then all laws are subject to the same whims of political expediency.

No need for an amendment. The Legislative Branch's powers are clearly enumerated in Article 1 Sec 8.
