See Downsize DC's One Subject at a Time Act (OSTA) which does exactly what you ask[0]. I have heard that what the bill wants to accomplish would require a constitutional amendment, as you suggested, due to legislative entrenchment (the current congress cannot bind a future congress) but I do not know what the truth of the situation is. Downsize DC's Agenda page has a list of all of their bills[1]. OSTA is the one I think has the best chance of being implemented. Some others with good ideas include: * Read The Bills Act: 'Yea' votes require that the congressperson has read/heard the bill (no more "I didn't know that was in there!"), mandatory 7-day public review period of final bill text. I think the mandatory reading of the text before a quorum will keep this one from being considered though. * Enumerated Powers Act: Congress must cite the constitutional authority on which the bill rests. I don't view Downsize DC as a very effective organization, so I would love to see other orgs throw their weight behind OSTA. It seems to me that it's something EFF or ACLU could support, for example, because so many of the things they fight against were enacted using sneaky riders.
