We desperately need a sundown amendment to the constitution for every act of congress, or executive order, terminating them after four years, and requiring the burning of the written copies thereof to generate electricity.
We also need a ten page anti-baffle-gab limit on congressional acts to be added to the constitution.

Every law MUST BE read out loud from a podium by the proposers, non-stop.
That would tend to eliminate 3,000 page Obamacare-type laws.
Every law MUST include a paragraph that includes WHICH of the enumerated powers authorizes it. And the justification can be accepted or rejected if it is not specific enough. (This would eliminate citing the “general welfare” clause as justification for everything)

You forgot any/all ‘rules and regulations’ which, IMO, should be required to be voted upon and approved by Congress. Else, they are deemed advisory ONLY and can never be used against any entity in court.
There is *NO* authority for Congress to relinquish its Law making authority to any nameless, unelected bureaucracy. To give them ‘force of Law’ w/o Congressional vote is/was an unconstitutional power-grab (and happily rubber-stamped as valid by all).
With tongue slightly in cheek, I've often proposed that all laws over 100 years old will sunset in five years unless re-enacted. Those over 50, 10 years; newly enacted laws will sunset in four years. That would keep the pols so damn busy they wouldn't be able to enact new ones.
