Actually not, as a single bill can repeal the current tax statutes, mandate the destruction of personal records, and defund the IRS, while implementing an NRST in its place.
The trick is follow through by 2/3's of Congress and 3/4ths of the states in prohibiting the future use of taxes on income by Constitutional amendment.
The first step however is getting an alternative tax system in place and sufficient impediment to reopening an income tax while the amendment process goes forward.
As always, it is up to the American electorate to assure a fully successful outcome.
