You should read about the non-delegation principle and why it exists. As Wikipedia says, “It is explicit or implicit in all written constitutions that impose a strict structural separation of powers. It is usually applied in questions of constitutionally improper delegations of powers of any of the three branches of government to either of the other, to the administrative state, or to private entities.” What you are proposing is that Congress be allowed to abolish its own power, completely destroying the constitution.

And even if they did, it wouldn't violate separation of powers. And even if they did, they could make a new law that takes it back. Of all the worries about delegation, this one seems like the least meaningful.
