If the current status quo for Presidential powers were in existence for a long time, we wouldn’t recognize our country right now and Nixon would have never resigned; he would have simply made the story go away and kept going business as usual

So it's a worth while idea, but it's going to put a burden on congress (which I think is funny since they only work like 50 days a year). What if there were some entirely different group of people reviewing it? Sort of like a filtering process. They look into things that need to be solved, and if they find a problem, then they send it to congress. That way the burden is much lower.
