Gödel’s Loophole is a supposed “inner contradiction” in the Constitution of the United States which Austrian-American logician, mathematician, and analytic philosopher Kurt Gödel postulated in 1947. The loophole would permit the American democracy to be legally turned into a dictatorship. It has been called “one of the great unsolved problems of constitutional law” by F. E. Guerra-Pujol.
I was under the impression the founding fathers assumed the constitution would either be completely replaced or amended to be massively different by like the time a century passed.
It’s honestly a very Warhammer 40k vibe.
