Peacefully abolish the current U.S. Constitution in favor of another? Not likely; Yanks would amend it more if they hated it.
Military overthrow of the U.S. government? Doesn't seem likely from abroad, nor from domestic militias energized by economic hardship.
Pres. Obama pulling a Julius Caesar? Of course not; but if so, there would likely be a Revolutionary War II to restore the current Constitution.
Apocalypse 2012? Couldn't tell you, ask a prophet.
If forced to project from current national mood trends, it seems that bailout backlash may lead to some majority party losses in Congress in 2010, but Obama will still be re-elected in 2012, with a successor elected in 2016 under the current U.S. Constitution.
I believe 2016 could be as heated as the 2000 U.S. election if enough people believe Obama's economic policies have done more harm than good, but no government overthrow.
