That does have some surface appeal, but I don't think we could sue the lawmakers. The proposed amendment doesn't really even apply to Congress. It applies to "outlays" and Congress doesn't do outlays. I guess the suit would be against the President or whomever is spending the money. Or something. I don't think they've had time to really think it through.
