Under your system, why would the President be required to sign a bill? Congress could just write it up and send it across the street to SCOTUS for review.

The obvious answer is that the Founders intended for a defense of the Constitution by using depth. All three branches have a shot at eliminating unconstitutional legislation, not just the courts.

Precisely. Two down, one to go--I don't think the Founders would be happy.
