I think they should have to read every bill aloud in its entirety. That would keep them from larding everything up.Ludicrous though the title of this post is, IMO that very slur would be flung at someone who proposed to amend the Constitution according to the CSA example.
Historical trivia: the Confederate constitution tried to avoid Congressional amalgamation of unrelated items in one bill:
"(20) Every law, or resolution having the force of law, shall relate to but one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title."
Given the way the existing Constitution is distorted to excuse federal power grabs, I'm not sure such an amendment would make any difference.
