Legislation I would support

I finally have conceived of a federal bureaucracy I would like to see created.

"The Bureau of Legislative Review" would have as its' charter the duty to review and recommend the repeal of any and all federal laws. Funding would be in direct proportion to the number of laws actually repealed in any Congressional period. Repeals would be acted on by the Congress as any normal bill.

As a secondary function, they could recommend repeals of state and local laws up to some small percentage of federal laws recommended for repeal. The actual repeals would be up to the governmental agency that enacted the law. The federal bureaucracy would have no power past recommending repeals, and they would explicitly not have any power to alter the Constitution.

What am I missing?
