Ummm, what magic set of legislative rules would allow this bill to get a single up or down, no amendments, vote?

There's also the inconvenient fact that no Congress can tie the hands of a future Congress.

The only way to accomplish this in our system would be to get a single amendment to the Constitution that would simultaneously repeal the 16th Amendment and replace it with the FairTax, and then get 3/4ths of the states to ratify it.
