"Why don't we pass a Constitutional Amendment that says that the government should be restrained by the existing Constitution??"

An amendment that specifically states that the Federal government is one of enumerated powers, and that those powers are those only specifically outlined in the US Constitution would obliterate more than half the Federal government.

I like it.

An amendment that specifically states that the Federal government is one of enumerated powers...

We could call it Amendment #10. I don't think that number is currently being used....
