Essentially the proposed option bans the addition of any amendment to said legislation. What is next? No future Congress can modify or repeal the legislation?

No, the option bans the addition of irrelevant amendments.

Suppose the legislature or congress is considering a bill to appropriate funds for highway construction and maintenance. The option prohibits adding amendments to fund light rail, for example, or promote windmill farms, or other such irrelevant matters.

Don't be silly; Christmas tree bills have been the enabling vehicle for runaway laws, the asinine "we had to pass it to fund the government!"

Stupidity on parade for ever allowing it in the first place.
