I believe that is the term for it..

"A constitutional crisis is a situation which a legal system's constitution or other basic principle of operation appears unable to resolve; it often results in a breakdown in the orderly operation of government. ... A constitutional crisis can lead to government paralysis, collapse, or civil war."
