That, to me, is the main problem with the idea. If the goal was to limit the number of laws on the book, sure, this might do it... but I don't think that is you're ultimate goal. Your ultimate goal seems to be the restoration of power to the states... but you don't know how the congress will prioritize their laws... what they "agree on is and isn't important". Nothing you said limits their scope of power, only possibly the time they have to implement it. Why not get to the point and limit their scope of power? No need to beat around the bush.
