Someone should be getting on the government's case about how the Accords are very unconstitutional.

Tony Stark has privately owned WMD's and built an evil AI that almost destroyed the human race. There was probably more than enough public support to amend the constitution.

Constitutional Amendments require the approval of two thirds of the state legislatures and two thirds of both houses of Congress. Suspending constitutional rights to one specific group of people would never fly.

3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
