Congress abdicated its power, and altered the balance of power that the Constitution set up. It'd be as if Congress passed, and the President signed, a law giving a committee of flag officers the power to review the orders the President gives as commander-in-chief. Would you consider that a constitutional piece of legislation, even if the President signed it (under heavy political pressure, say)?
