> A Constitutional amendment has a much higher threshold of passage than a simple law.
You are misunderstanding the word 'constitution'. Every company and regulatory body has one. It defines who does what, and the 'what you can do, and more importantly, what you should do' of a regulatory body is defined within the act. It is not the 'american constitution'. It is created and modified during the regular practice of government with the creation and modification of an act. Every democratic government, and indeed, even non-democratic ones, does it roughly the same way. If it didn't happen this way, cars would still be driving with lead petrol.
> Sure, as long as enough other voters agree with you to get their attention.
It happens all of the time.
You know dude, I'm not really sure you know how the government functions. This is what they do, and there are so many levels of it. It's true that large multi-state regulatory bodies have larger impacts, and therefore require more support, in order to be enacted. But they get created in the first place for a reason, and end up getting modified for a reason. Your representatives create and modify acts that allocate funds to fund regulatory bodies to enforce laws. That's democracy. That's how it works.
> You are misunderstanding the word 'constitution'.
If you want to use that word in an unusual way, that's fine; but I didn't understand that that's how you were using it in reference to regulatory bodies created by US statutes. ("Statute", btw, is the usual way of referring to laws that tell what regulatory bodies can and should do.)
> You know dude, I'm not really sure you know how the government functions.
You know, I'm not really sure you know how to describe how the government functions using proper terminology. If you had said "statute" in the first place, which, as above, is the correct term for what you are referring to, I would have understood what you said right away. But you didn't.
> Your representatives create and modify acts that allocate funds to fund regulatory bodies to enforce laws.
Yes, and these are called "statutes", not a "constitution".
