Do not further amend the Constitution.

The Founders recognized that from time to time, the document would need to change to better serve the republic. That is why we have amendments in the first place.

Besides, if this does prove to be such a disaster, we can do what was done with prohibition and reverse it.

Best to leave it alone. Past attempts to amend have resulted in eventual disaster and except for prohibition all are still there. Universal suffrage has been achieved. More than that cannot be expected.
