Funny you should mention this . . .
There is a standing committee on the C&SC. There are many things that ought to be looked at: Basic organization of the document itself, discipline of the member, chapter discipline, incorporating all the resolutions since 1909, etc. Removal of an officer may be something that needs to be added.
There is a precedent for starting out fresh as Phi Delta Theta rewrote theirs in 1972, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 2005.
I agree that we likely could not do a complete re-write in one sitting but if we bite off little pieces and have a plan we could likely get the bulk of the work done in 8 years or so. That may seem like an eternity to some, but it is probably a realistic estimate.
BTW, the SAE documents look real good: Easy to understand and apply
