My amendment:

Section One: No act, bill or resolution of the Congress shall become law until and unless each Senator and Representative voting affirmatively for said act, bill or resolution shall swear or affirm by affidavit, under penalty of perjury, that he or she has read the legislation in question and understands every provision of same.

Section Two: The limitations and requirements of Section One shall not apply to the vote of any Senator or Representative who votes against any act, bill or resolution.

Section Three: No act, bill or resolution before the Congress shall exceed ten thousand words in total length; nor may the Congress vote upon any act, bill or resolution that exceeds ten thousand words in total length; nor shall any act, bill or resolution passed by the Congress have the force of law if said act, bill or resolution exceeds ten thousand words in total length.
