Your assertion is well-received, and might even be the best solution, provided Americans can be assured that all elections thereafter are conducted honestly. (God help you if they figure out a way to cheat in perpetuity. You’ll never get rid of the evil parasites.) However, it isn’t a solution that can happen in the near term because of the rigorous process of repealing, adding or changing an amendment.

It seems highly unlikely that anyone could get two-thirds of the House and Senate to propose the change you suggest. It seems equally unlikely that two-thirds of the state legislatures would agree to call for a constitutional convention to accomplish the same thing. It’s even less likely that three quarters of the states would vote to ratify such an amendment at this point in time.

Once the elections are clean, it will probably be a lot easier to make the change you suggest and all of the other changes that reflect the ACTUAL will of the people.

Elections will be far more straightforward when the constitution is strictly enforced in as much as pols are unable to promise goodies/bennies to facilitate their election…
