They can maintain the responsibility to authorize everything, separately. Don't bundle dissimilar items in one authorization. If you are authorizing $10B for a ship, don't add $1M to study green tomatoes in Idaho, and another $100M to build a money temple in Manhattan, that's all. If you did that, the President can only get his %$$##@ ship by allowing you to have your extra money for your pet projects.

The first oil crisis came about when the arabs imposed a boycott in reaction to one of the Israeli wars. They were emboldened to do it because the US was clearly paralyzed by the vietnam situation. In retrospect, we should have sent the military over and seized some of the prime oil fields in Saudi Arabia. Back then we still had the Shah-led Iran as an ally.
Traditionally, a boycott of an essential resource has been considered grounds for war. If we had taken over the Saudi oil fields, we could have ushered in a period of worldwide prosperity and peace, and we would still be reaping the benefits, since al qaeda and radical islam would have never been funded.
