Presumably any amendment that would abolish or sufficiently alter the Senate would simply remove that article as well.

The phrase "the Constitution prohibits this amendment" doesn't make any sense because an amendment to the Constitution cannot by definition be unconstitutional.

Perhaps that was meant to say, it would make the Constitution internally contradict itself?
