I also blinked at that. But then took it to mean constitutionally in a pure sense - whether they can keep a strength of belief enough to follow through. Unrelated to 'The Constitution' from a US citizen's point of view. Although now I'm pondering just how misplaced and powerful our reverence of that cobbled together document is.

It’s basically a peace treaty. There are things about it that I think are incredibly counterproductive to democracy (and they were designed to be so!), but I shudder at the thought of rolling the dice on scrapping or heavily re-writing it.

It seems like the government agencies are more than comfortable ignoring it anyway, frankly.
You are correct, that is the sense that I meant it. I'll edit my comment to clarify.
Thanks for clarifying! The constitution is pretty far from fiduciary duty legally, so I apologize for not interpreting it more charitably.
