The constitution is, in the end, a piece of old paper in a climate controlled box. It's on humans to bring it to life. Humans don't always do the things they say they will on paper even if they put one hand on a different book of paper and swear to while everyone watches.

I don't disagree that it could happen without being constitutional. Of course, the debt ceiling is also a piece of paper, as are any laws restricting the printing of money, etc.
