Article II, section 1 of the Constitution establishes the Electoral College.

It is extremely difficult to amend the Constitution.

Article V sets up the manner by which an amendment is passed.

While there are two different means to amend the founding document, this country has always used the same route: a 2/3rds vote in both houses of Congress, followed by the ratification of 3/4ths of the states.

A plan to scrap the Electoral College via constitutional amendment would not pass in the current environment.
