Another amendment that will never get passed!

I had another idea for an amendment, one that would ensure growth in government is halted and small government is maintained.

A Constitutional Amendment to restrict growth of government:
1. No bill may become United States law if it is passed with less than unanimous consent of both the Senate and the House, and

(a) it includes in whole or part any tax increase of any kind.
2. No bill may become United States law if it is passed with less than unanimous consent of both the Senate and the House,  and
(a) it includes an increase in the national debt limit, or
(b) it includes borrowing on the credit of the United States, or
(c) it includes the issuance of bonds.

3. No bill may become United States law if it is passed with less than unanimous consent of both the Senate and the House, and
(a) it increases funding to existing federal programs, or
(b) it increases transfers of funding to state programs, or
(c) it creates new programs of any kind that require funding
4. A bill may become United States law if it is passed with a simple majority of both the Senate and the House, and
(a) it decreases funding to existing federal programs, or
(b) it decreases transfers of funding to state programs, or
(c) it ends programs of any kind that require funding.
5. Only Congress can pass laws.  No executive order or agency rule is law, or may be treated as law, or be enforced as law, except
(a) executive orders issued by the President of the United States in compliance with Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution.
