    How about going back in time to make sure the Constitution is written with less room for interpretation? You could solve DOGE, Trump, and gun rights in one go.

      Uh… maybe?
      Trump and Elon don’t actually care about the constitution, you know. They pretend that they do because it’s patriotic, but it wouldn’t stop them from doing anything they’re doing.
