Amending the Constitution is not unconstitutional

Someone rush a copy of the Constitution over to Politico’s newsroom, and make sure reporter Reid Epstein reads Article V, which specifies how to amend the Constitution.

Pitched with a snarky tweet, “The GOP presidential candidates all love the Constitution, except the parts they want to change,” this Politico article tries to make Republican presidential candidates look hypocritical for simultaneously (1) calling on Congress and the President to operate within the confines of the Constitution, and (2) invoke Article V of the Constitution to propose amendments.
