An amendment which would by its very enactment render the Constitution meaningless?

It'd be akin to doing brain surgery with a .45

It would only render parts of it meaningless just as other ammendments have done in the past.

Regardless, Congress pretty much has the power to do whatever it wants as long as it has a veto-proof majority. One poster said the congress is powerless in this situation which certainly isn't accurate.
