No.
The rules page tells you why Amendments are illegal. Because it is impossible to determine the effect change on the nations stats. And your resolutions effect depends on other resolution, it has basically no fixed strength...
((OOC: The strength of this proposal is fixed at Significant, which I believe will be the overall effect of the enforcement mechanism it describes in the long run. You might be able to make an argument for Strong, but the mods usually give some leeway in this case. Significant is usually the safest strength.
That said, I suppose the precise, technical effect changes from time to time, but the same could be said of any proposal. Besides, that's not what "proposal strength" is. If it were, the Strength rule would largely prevent any proposal from passing, since a proposal's strength cannot be known in advance. To use an example from one of my own resolutions, Foreign Trademark Recognition's strength technically changes depending on how many foreign trademarks exist at any given time. It technically has no strength if no nation chooses to recognize trademarks. There's no way to know this in advance, though, so I estimated that the overall effect would be Significant.))
