I don't think you can restore enumerated powers without a clear plan to deal with the programs that are outside of enumerated powers. Probably easier to grandfather them all and deal with them one by one.
But if you can't get support for an amendment to do so, then you wouldn't be able to get support for it in a new governement either.
I would suggest, it's easier to get agreement on amendments to the constitution than it is to get agreement on an entirely new constitution.I don't think you can restore enumerated powers without a clear plan to deal with the programs that are outside of enumerated powers.

I think you're right, DannyTN. A new constitution? Nah. There wasn't much wrong with the original U.S. Constitution. I think we need to beef up the Bill of Rights, add strict term limits, penalties for violating the Constitution, and strictly limit the powers and authorities of the national and state governments. I'd very much like to see the new federal government wholly dependent on the states for every dollar it spends.
Is that asking a lot? Maybe; on the bright side, the worse things get under the current feral government, the easier I believe it will be for people to see why the Constitutional States of America needs to be put—and kept—on a short leash.
