I'm not to ready to agree. It's merely a rules change. I don't think it would be required for insertion into the U.S. Code, I think it would just have to be in the bill text.

I think it's a great idea, and it would certainly help silly legislation.

Here's the big dilemma, though: suppose a bill was found to not be authorized under a particular clause in the Constitution. Would the court be able to support it under a different clause, or would it be nullified and have to be re-introduced? I think this is the big problem.
