Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday said he's hopeful the House will pass legislation this month granting President Obama fast-track trade powers, but said the votes aren't there yet.
“I don't think we're quite there yet,” Boehner said in an interview on Fox News Radio's “Kilmeade & Friends.”
“But over the next couple weeks, we hope to get this bill on the floor and get it passed. It's an important priority for the country,” he said.
Boehner acknowledged some in his party are opposing the fast-track legislation, known as Trade Promotion Authority or TPA, simply because they don't trust Obama.

This is even after the voters last November sent the message they wanted to stop this Administration.
Well, DUH. And they are 100% correct.
We elected them for just that reason and all they are doing is following the express wishes of the voters. What a novel concept. Boehner is such a traitorous turd.
Why are they bothering with votes??
Just deem it passed.
Don’t worry, the Republicans will ‘come through’ yet again.
Nobody even knows what they’re voting on yet!
Most supporters likely have not even read the bill and those who claim to have read it likely don’t understand the subversive nature of many of the details of the SECRET SECTIONS.
And IF Republicans value their jobs they won't ever have the votes.
The bribes, kickbacks, and "campaign contributions" are certainly already in place. It is therefore not necessary for them to actually read the bill, now or in the future.
Just vote the way you're told.
what happened to the transparency of the government in full disclosure for any bill to read by the public. The US Government is a joke!
Yeah, pass it, O Orange One. Then the peasants can read it and be able to confirm that they are getting screwed just like they suspected.
It it’s like past trade deals, and if it gives JugEars more authority, and if you have to keep the bill a secret, then we know we’re going to get screwed.
New congressional majority party, same as the old congressional majority party.
The thing must be rife with cross-references that no doubt are kept in other locations outside the area where the actual bill is being held captive.
WHO WROTE THIS?
“Just deem it passed”.
That was one of Nancy’s moves alright.
I’ll admit I’m not excited about giving Obama any more room to do anything. Never underestimate his determination to harm this country.
These Gop leaders should be hung from the DC lamp posts for this utterly Unamerican Attacks on our constitution and our the rights
This Open ended treaty will over rule our Gun rights, Ram thru amnesty fior all , and freedom of speech and nothing can be done about it. Treaties can over rule US laws in most cases. Bonehead, Cruz, Ryan, McCarthy, Mitchy , Paul should all be put behind bars for this treason.
They are all hiding from us .
Just utter scum.
Boehner is clueless.
Trumka of AFL-CIO opposes fastrack TPP, but Trumka made a deal with the devil to sell out his workers by not opposing Obama on amnesty and open borders. The flood of illegals is a death bell to American union workers, but Trumka either doesn’t care or he believed Obama-Jarrett when they told him the millions of illegals from Central America will be joining his unions. Sure.
Not that they would, the unions have it in their hand to force Washington to seal the borders and shift the direction of this nation from fascism if they ever chose to. Over three-quarters of all goods are hauled by truck. If the International Brotherhood of Teamsters called a national strike, the nation’s economy would shut down until the government cried uncle. They could close the seaports, as well. It would be a showdown, the People vs. D.C.
It’s not only Obama, Soros, the Freemasons or aliens from outer space.
It’s the constituents who want faster action, when they pull strings, and they control both political parties. And they’re finishing off our economy. They only care about what they can snatch today.
Gotta wonder what NSA info Obola has on Boner and McTurtleboy - it’s like they are his best buds anymore.
Boehner and McConnell aren’t the only Republicans who refused the message, including Cruz and Rubio.
“Boehner is clueless.”
You are being way, way, too generous.
