Ridiculous.

First, tell your ignorant friend president's don't get to change the Constitution at their whim. If they could, our current boy-king would have dispensed with that inconvenient document 4 years ago.

To do what she suggests would require a Constitutional ammendment. The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention.

So the Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process, the joint resolution does not go to the White House for signature or approval. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

Basically your dumb-assed friend needs to grow up and learn how her government actually works. Only then will she be capable of rejecting the hysterical hyperbole constantly spewed by the unhinged commies. Or she can go spend a year in Afghanistan - either tack will gain her a greater appreciation for her sorry life here in America.

Oh, I did.

I’d start by asking your left friend for her source.

I did that, too.....no answer on both. Typical.
