So this guy supposedly found a loophole in the Constitution that would facilitate a legal transformation of the US into a dictatorship, and talked to Einstein about it, but the specific loophole/concern has never actually been published?
Sounds like clickbait was already alive and well in the 1940's.

Depression as Gödel did suffer from and developed massive anxiety after the murder of Moritz Schlick, deserves a little more respect and above all help. Calling him "completely mental" doesn't help at all.

I’m sure there are a thousand ways that the US could become a dictatorship by technically legal means. I’m not sure why Gödel was so concerned about this one method. After all, all governments are made of people and accountable to people - if the people are fine enough with a dictatorship then it could come into existence regardless of legality, and if they hate the idea then they won’t let it happen even if the method is technically legal.
