Here is how the president could accomplish this by himself: I make a national speech and tell the people to stop paying income taxes immediately with the promist that he will reign back the IRS and pardon EVERYONE who is arrested for non-paymen then tell them about the positive things that a national sales tax would do. Congress would howl, of course, but they would have to find an alternative source of income quickly, which just so happens to be sitting in committee right now.
