It seems to me that that would be entirely in keeping with the basic principles of the Constitution.

The framers wrote it just that way because they understood how tyrannical governments can become and when that happens, they provided the tools for the people to retake control.

That was the basis for the American Revolution.

It actually would be against the spirit of the Constitution, which provides for a representative Republic, not a direct democracy. You do not want to go down that road.
