Questions about Congressional process

How can voters have a say on how responsibly our senators and congresspeople pass bills?

Would it help if, to sign a bill, all senators and congresspeople would have to sign off on a line that says he or she has read the whole bill and agrees with the whole bill?

Would this lead to shorter bills with less pork? Or at least to curtail representatives' tendencey to pass the buck in terms of personal responsibility?

If not, what process would require representatives to take on personal responsiblity for the whole of a given vote?
