No. It's one of the amendments to the US Constitution. It, like any other one, can be repealed.
For an amendment to be proposed or repealed, it requires two/thirds of both federal legislative bodies — House and Senate — to vote in the affirmative (two/thirds in the House, two/thirds in the Senate). It also requires two/thirds of the state legislatures of the 50 states to vote in the affirmative.
That is very difficult to do. In fact, it was only done once. When the 21st repealed the 18th.
Whether it should be or not is one question. But it *can* be. Very, very, unlikely, but it can be.
