The problem with the living document idea is that it means the Constitution can mean anything at any time. That also means it means nothing. What matters is the opinion of SCOTUS/Congress/POTUS whoever else, not what the Constitution actually says.

I'm fully in agreement with JPhillips that a President just deciding they don't like what it means is so bad that it's hard to put it into words.

We do have a process for constitutional amendments. I'm for that process actually being used when we want to change the constitution. I know that's extremely radical in our day, but I'm standing by it.

Part of the President's job is to enforce the laws as they are. Not to enforce the laws they wish existed. That's what a monarch does. I think it's a good thing that we don't have one.
