The 20th Amendment, known as the "Lame Duck Amendment," adjusted the start dates for congressional and presidential terms to reduce delays in governance. The 27th Amendment addresses congressional pay raises, stipulating that any changes in compensation for Congress members cannot take effect until after the next election, promoting accountability.

Do the citizens have the rights to change their constitution?
Citizens can change (parts of) the U.S Constitution through their elected representatives, who can propose an amendment (or change) to certain clauses within the constitution. The United States Constitution has had 27 approved amendments. Most of these amendments were "additions" and did not directly change anything, but added new laws or rules. An example of a direct change to the constitution would be the 20th amendment. Originally, the Constitution stated that the President-elect of the United States would be inaugurated into office on March 4th, following the election. However, the 20th amendment changed the inauguration date to January 20th, following the election. If by "change", you mean remove the current document and create a new one, it seems very unlikely. The U.S Constitution is what establishes the United States. By removing the document, you would be abolishing the United States government, and creating an entire new country. But, I suppose anything is possible.
