If Congress can do this it can really do anything it wants. These abstract Constitutional arguments may be slightly interesting but are for all intents and purposes meaningless.

If you believe that, then you must believe the Constitution is little more than an interesting artifact of a bygone era. Furthermore, if you believe there are no practical limits on the powers of the Congress, then it should follow that either the powers of the USSC and the President are equally unlimited, or that there is no longer a balance of power between the three branches of government.
