Politicians have shown that they will snatch any powers not actively prohibited from them by the people or by the law, so really an amendment is really the only thing that will even remotely throttle the ravening beast that is our government.

I seriously doubt that even a balanced budget amendment would stop them.

There would almost certainly have to be some sort of “emergency” clause in it. Everything would just become an emergency.
