The "no more deficits" amendment, with teeth

Proposed amendment to the US Constitution:

  1.  Any federal deficit spending outside time of war shall result in the confiscation and sale of all assets, tangible and intangible, of every member of Congress who voted to pass the bills authorizing that excessive spending, as well as of their immediate family members, saving three sets of clothing each and a single motor vehicle for the entire family. Two consecutive years of deficit spending outside a time of war shall result in the execution of those members of Congress who voted to pass the spending bills.

  2.  These penalties are to be enforced by the judicial branch, headed by the members of the Supreme Court, within no more than 90 days from the date of the passage of the bill or bills authorizing the excessive spending.

  3.  Failure to enforce said penalties by the legislative branch in a timely manner shall result in the execution of every member of the Supreme Court by the executive branch within a further 7 days.  The executive branch shall then have a further 30 days to enforce the penalties prescribed by paragraph one above.

  4.  If the executive branch fails to enforce the penalties prescribed above in a timely manner, the federal government shall be declared in breach of its collective duties, immediately dissolved of all power and authority, and every elected or appointed member of that government declared to be outside the bounds of the law.  Let any man's hand be raised against them, their immediate families, and their property.

  5.  Within 30 days of such time as described in paragraph four above, the governors of the various States shall meet in conclave to select, by majority vote or random chance, one of their members to assume the role of chief executive for a period of no more than 180 days.  During this period, new elections for all federal Representatives and Senators, as well as for the President and Vice President, shall be arranged and conducted.

  6.  Time of war, for the purposes of this amendment, includes only a period from the date Congress formally declares war against a specific enemy nation or group of nations, through no more than 90 days after the cessation of hostilities in that specific conflict, either by victory, defeat, or stalemate. Any period of six consecutive months during which fewer than 100 US citizens are killed or injured by enemy action in that specific conflict shall count as the cessation of hostilities by stalemate.
