&quot;The president is the sole representative and spokesperson of the states&quot; can bypass the entrenched clause.<p>But something obvious the senate can block is not it. An amendment that gives the presidemt power to suspend congress during a national crisis or for national securitu will do the trick too, it is a bit obvious but people might be ok with it if a crisis or war is big enough. The only thing preventing a dictatorship is the senate who serve longer terms than the president. Being able to suspend the senate (the VP had a role!?) without an amendment is even more powerful if the majority party is for the dictatorship. General elections can be delayed indefinetly.

Regarding protections against discrimination of name or language: how can institutions comply and still enact partiality to, say, account identification for purposes of their service?

TLDR<p>We don&#x27;t know the loophole. We can only guess.<p>If we alter the Constitution to make it easier to alter the Constitution then it could become a runaway problem, leading to dictatorship.
