#5  Don't pass a budget (which is congress' core constitutional duty), they forfeit pay for that year.

Deficit more than 3% outside time of (declared) war? Next month special election for all new congress and previous members are illegible from running for their lifetimes or working for any federal government position.

Is there a way to pass a law like this without congress?

Maybe an constitution amendment?
