It may come to that, but I much fear it.
The metaphor you choose, the 'disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled machine' suggests radical change, by someone with the power to totally stop and remake the government. Under the Constitution, that could only be done by a new constitutional convention.
If that is not possible, the only other option would be some sort of extra-constitutional means, some sort of coup or violent revolution. Would you support that idea?
And that word 'clean' in there really scares me. In the political context, 'clean' is usually an euphemism for 'kill.'
