The problem is that they have ignored it because it is not specifically spelled out. The Constitution ratifiers thought that it would be obvious that they intended for Congress to have sole authority to write laws by not giving them the power to delegate their authority. They were wrong in thinking that Congress would restrain itself without a constant reminder.

Article 1 sec 8 is a pretty short list. Lays out EXACTLY what Congress is allowed to do. “These things and nothing more”...

The 10th Amendment makes it even more explicit.

Again, telling them they can’t do something they were already told they couldn’t do hasn’t worked so far...

I think we’re in the time where the Founders feared we’d no longer be able to remove the corrupt from office by peaceful means.
