RB, here's my question for you.
In a hypothetical scenario, and just go with me here, say something happened between now and jan 20th, catastrophically tragic, and Bush decided to pull a Lincoln by suspending the constitution and 'temporarily' putting off the inauguration. Say he did this with a sizable portion of the military and fed agencies along with Blackwater and a previously unknown group of mercs.
What recourse would you have? what recourse would you want?

if it wasn't grammatically incorrect when it was written and it was understood by all at that time, why would it need to be re-interpreted by a court 200+ years later? Did it's meaning really change? or just a definition of a word?
