So, whats so bad about this idea?

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives, and/or federal employees, and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives, and/or federal employees that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”

What does it mean to “Ceed Power” upward?

Well here is a good starting place for a definition:
I samual, 8:6

6But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” …

… “This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattleb and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

SO: If you wail for a king to lead you today, you will wail from the result tomorrow.
