Good argument. However as President, Bush has the "bully pulpit." Why is he refusing to use it? Or if and when your scenario arises is it a legitimate concern that he'll refuse to campaign for such an amendment?

My personal theory is that he is waiting to get re-elected. A lot less risk in that second/final term in office.
