A call to 'ALL AMERICANS' Left or Right! I this a good idea?

At an event at the National Press Club, AFA unveiled a ten point agenda to roll back an accumulation of presidential and executive power that they argue has come at the expense of the legislative and judiciary branches of government. While Presidents have consistently overstepped their constitutional authority since the beginning of the 20th century, AFA asserts that abuse of executive power has exploded since 9/11. In the coming days, AFA will release draft legislation to:
-- End the use of military commissions to prosecute crimes.
-- Prohibit the use of secret evidence or evidence obtained by torture.
-- Prohibit the detention of American citizens as enemy combatants without
proof.
-- Restore habeas corpus for alleged alien combatants.
-- End National Security Agency warrentless wiretapping.
-- Empower Congress to challenge presidential signing statements.
-- Bar executive use of the state secret privilege to deny justice.
-- Prohibit the President from collaborating with foreign governments to
kidnap, detain of torture persons abroad.
-- Amend the Espionage Act to permit journalists to report on classified
national security matters without threat of persecution.
-- Prohibit of the labeling of groups or individuals in the U.S. as global
terrorists based on secret evidence.

AFA will also offer a Presidential Pledge to all 2008 hopefuls. By signing the pledge, candidates commit themselves to implement the ten point plan if elected. Congressman Ron Paul (news, bio, voting record) (R-TX) attended the kick-off event and became the first candidate to sign the American Freedom Agenda Pledge.

Answer:
Most of these are a good idea, and really are just a question of enforcing the law without making major concession to the executive. Denying the president use of the state secret privilege is always questionable, but that issue was resolved with US v Nixon: review the secret in camera. So sure, go for it.
Sounds pretty constitutional to me.
