They should just make it a law!!
But they won't. For one, there is no political will to do so. Secondly, ordinary law does not trump the Constitution, and that's why ordinary laws cannot curtail exercises of Constitutional power by Congress.
That said, McConnell has already indicated that, while having blocked Garland following an entirely made-up "rule", he'll confirm any nominee he likes at any time in the calendar, and that includes five minutes before a Senate's term ends. I think, while in 99% of what he's saying you should assume he's lying, you can trust him on that.
