It sounds appealing at first glance, but there'd be some logistical issues. First of all, how would it be enforced? Secondly, how would you deal with bills that could be passed with amendments but not in the form they were passed from the other chamber? Would you force a floor vote on the exact language from the other chamber? Or would you allow it to be amended to a certain extent? And if so then to what extent?
