SEE: Critical of Obama’s past actions, GOP now wants to give him more power on trade
”Republicans have consistently railed at President Obama’s exercise of his executive authority, disparaging him as “an emperor” who has ignored Congress on immigration, climate and Cuba.
Now that they fully control the Congress, those same Republicans critics are on the verge of handing the president expansive new powers to circumvent those who want to stand in his way on trade.
GOP leaders in both chambers are close to introducing legislation that would grant the administration broad authority to finalize one of the largest free-trade pacts in the nation’s history.”
The power being discussed here is one which removes the people’s Representatives from the process to create, debate, amend and then adopt legislation regulating trade with foreign nations.
Fast-track trade power would allow the President to negotiate trade deals with foreign nations in secret, eliminating the American People’s Representatives from their assigned duty to create legislation regulating commerce with foreign nations. Congress would no longer create the legislation and the process of adding corrective amendments to the president’s deals to insure deals which promote America’s best interests would be totally circumvented. The only part Congress would have in the President’s fast-track trade power would be an up or down vote within 90 days upon receiving the presidents deal which leaves little time to even allow the people’s representatives to read and study the deal and then debate it before a vote.
This is another Chamber of Commerce idea to remove the people’s Representatives from the process and be free to adopt trade deals which are not in the best interests of America, but rather, are deals beneficial to international corporate giants who have no allegiance to America or promoting the general welfare of the United States.
Every member of Congress who supports this Fast-Track crap ought to be viewed as a domestic enemy of the United States who is attempting to circumvent the People’s Representatives’ constitutionally assigned duty to create legislation promoting an America First trade policy.
Some of the GOP ringleaders behind Obama-Trade are Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky, Senator Orrin Hatch, Utah, and our little weasel from Wisconsin, Paul Ryan.
Just remember exactly what they are attempting to do, which is to circumvent the process of having the people’s Representatives creating legislation, debating it, amending it and then adopting it. The intention is to effectively exclude the people’s elected Representatives from the law making process as it was intended to operate by our founding fathers.
JWK
To support Jeb Bush is to support our Global Governance crowd and their WTO, NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA, all used to circumvent America First trade policies, while fattening the fortunes of international corporate giants who have no allegiance to America or any nation.
What GOP leaders , the GOP has leaders ? who knew
The Stooooooopid Party strikes again.
Shamelessly, the EXEMPT have made themselves rich as they
have sold the FREEDOM of Americans to
the Enemies of the United States of America.
Worse, they bow before an undocumented Moslem
who is allied with the Moslem Brotherhood and al Qaeda.
I wonder if the rats will take over again in a few years?
The feckless asshats complain when people are upset with them for not stopping Ebola because they don’t control Congress. So the voters give them Congress and they find even MORE creative ways to cave. Shocking.
It may look stupid to us, but they stand to personally gain from insider deals. More corrupt than stupid.
Evil, not stupid.
Stupid is a facade to hide their agenda. Selling out us and our Republic.
I didn’t vote for that traitor McConnell. FWIW.
The problem is we attribute their actions to stupidity because it's hard to believe they would act this way on purpose.
The bastards KNOW what they are doing.
They have no problem selling out their country.
In short, they are traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.
This better not stand. My rep is going to hear an earful on this from me. Brad Wenstrup. The POS already has two strikes against him. This will be the third if he votes for this. And he pretends to be for the veterans, Maybe I can convince many others in my small county he’s not the man they should be voting for.
this links to the WaPo. might wanna think about that before you let your head explode..
Everything this Obama idiot touches he screws up to high hell. So the GOP thinks he should be given more unchecked power?
Are we living in backwards world?
Rats. Repugnants. They're all the same.
If, after all this, there is any person left who thinks that the GOP will save the republic; then that person deserves whatever ill befalls them. There is no cure for stupidity and continuing to hope that the GOP will change is as empty as the half breed’s lies.
Truth is, we have a one party regime and elections do not matter anymore. There is only one box left.
The GOP-e works for the bankers, the global CEO Roundtable, Global Chamber of Commerce, and the Harvard League for NWO and Open Borders and bottomless cheap immigrant labor.
The TP was founded because of the bailout. Conservatives were hijacked and brainwashed by corporatists. They used pundits and media and politicians to falsely convince us that support of global corporations, who work against our national sovereignty, and in favor of foreign eminent domain is somehow in our national interest.
The GOP is but the subsidiary wing of the Imperial Party responsible to Harry Reid. He is still controlling the Senate through his butt boy McConnell.
The American people are being whipsawed by two corrupt incompetent Parties, neither of which serves us. Every election cycle will be more BS political promises of change we can believe in, when they are all lies. We need a third Party that puts the USA first and that tosses out the traitors that have destroyed the USA. Corruption, communism, crony capitalism, globalism, and monopolistic markets have replaced capitalism and free markets as our economic foundation..
No, why give away their power so easily?
