here is a weird thought.. in the strictest sense of the oath would wanting to further amend the constitution be considered a violation of the oath?

[American Constitutionalist]

That's the fork in the road question.

Should it have been left alone right after they ratified the Constitution May 1790 ?

[ExGeeEye]

No, because the amendment process is a part of the Constitution.

[American Constitutionalist]

In the strictest sense the amendment process is a part of the Constitution.
Isn't repealing some of the must grievous parts of some of those amendments changing the Constitution ?
For example ? the 16th amendment ?
However ? our forefathers with much wisdom made it very difficult to amended the Constitution against any willi nilli spur of the moment changes.

You should have thought it through more. The constitution itself lays out the process by which it can be added to or subtracted from. Seeking an amendment is absolutely constitutional.
