The president can appoint judges who believe in the reasonable interpretation of the constitution rather than judges who believe in a literal interpretation. Then when laws like assault gun bans or other "anti" gun legislation comes up it is either constitutional or unconstitutional so while they can't Amend the constitution they can influence how it's applied
