Your post brings to memory an idea that I heard discussed back in the Eighties, It was called the Utah Option, although I have no idea what connection it has with Utah.

The idea was to amend the Constitution to allow the following.

If the legislatures of three-fourths of the states pass a Resolution of No-Confidence in the federal government, the federal government is declared dissolved, and new elections would be held 30 days after the three-fourths threshold was met. These elections would be for president, vice president, House and all Senate seats, regardless of "class". Once the new government was installed, all members of the federal judiciary would be fired, and the new government would replace them with judges of their choosing.

If we ever get that Amendments Convention, this is the kind of amendment I would like to see proposed.
