OP,
The answer to your question is “yes, there would be teeth.” The language of this version of the Amendment would require members of Congress to “swear under penalty of perjury.” Obviously, if members perjure themselves in that regard, they would have committed a felony punishable by imprisonment.
The question is whether such perjury charges would be pursued. Unfortunately, that would be left up to the DOJ and to Congress to fund such prosecutions.
