I think any amendment like this, the 8 years, or any power giving amendment (exceptions allowed) should have a clause built into it.
This clause should state this amendment does not go into effect for 30 years. This would insure that the amendment was not a power grab by one party to serve it's current purposes. Since the people in charge in 30 years will be different then the ones now it would minimize the partisinship in such a bill.
