Except that it's all rolled into one bill. Which they haven't read (they don't actually read any of the bills).

If they spend more than about ten minutes on the whole exercise I'd be shocked.

Yeah, you'd have to combine it with a length limit on the text of bills.
Require that one of the people voting reads the entirety of the bill aloud in front of the whole group before 'yes' votes are valid?

Doesn't make the length boundary sharp, but still provides a limit of sorts.

Less restrictive than the one in Gulliver's Travels!
