Actually the Exec branch is in dire need of just that. Well, lets call it a HUGE deflating.
The powers the Exec branch has assumed, borrowed, and plain ol' usurped are 3/4 of what's got us in trouble. The office was NEVER to be like this, and NEVER to be trusted, either by the people or Congress. Congress has instead just handed powers to this branch, mostly from bullying, and a burning desire to legislate away any responsibility of their own.
The office, as defined in
Article II, is little more than a combination
Janitor and McDonald's manager. A big pile of keys, a huge list of todo's, a ton of responsibility, and damned little if any authority. The only exception to this is a physical attack on the nation by a foreign regular army.
