But that gets into a whole topic of trying to convince 3/5 of states to change the system and getting 537 elected officials on board. We would essential have to rewrite major parts of the Constitution. Many people do not want to do that because they would have to give up too much power.

Agree completely. The only other western nation as politically chaotic and religious dogma-driven as the US I can think of is Italy, but the issue there is Vatican meddling and a nationwide hatred of same-sex couples, not the constitution.
