But we do.  The Supreme Court does.  The military does.  I can assure you, if the singularity doesn’t make it all irrelevant, there will be no revolution overthrowing the constitution.  It is the reason why POTUS cannot seize power, the reason why we have an electoral college, why the two Dakotas cannot be compelled to merge nor California allowed to split, etc.  All that stuff requires 38 states to agree, and this will not happen in any of those cases.

Ja.  The constitution is why the office of POTUS has authority.  When the current term expires on 20 Jan 2029, that authority ends.  The constitution is our friend.
