Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, is calling on Fox News debate moderators Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace to ask the GOP presidential candidates where they stand on Obamatrade.
"It absolutely is a critical issue for the future of America," Sessions told Breitbart News in an exclusive phone interview late last week.
This is no little matter that needs to be decided in some secret room and secret negotiations. I don't see how anybody that conducts a debate can fail to ask about this critical issue. It affects the long-term financial well-being of this country. People need to know how every one of these candidates, Republican and Democrat, feel about the trade agreements--and particularly the Trans Pacific Partnership and the Transatlantic agreement and the Trade in Services Agreement. Are you for them or not? Then they [voters] can decide how to cast their vote. Isn't that what debates are supposed to be about? To give the candidates a chance to explain how they feel and how they are going to conduct themselves if elected? I think it's a huge matter.
Sessions noted the reason why these trade agreements should be a major focus of this final debate before the Iowa caucuses is because of the impact this issue will have on American workers and American sovereignty moving forward.
"This trade agreement would provide--this Trans Pacific agreement commission for example would provide--the Sultan of Brunei with the same vote as the President of the United States," Sessions said.
The President could go and agree to the various things he might want to see happen like President Obama would agree to expanded immigration and Congress would be powerless to stop it.

President Jeff Sessions.......................
I’d settle for Vice President Jeff Sessions!
Correct, we'll probably get questions about the Oscar awards, NFL concussions, why they deny climate change, and why they hate non-whites.
You know, the usual.
Amen !
See my tag line.
I’ve seen it many times and agree, but he won’t run.
I don’t really blame him for not wanting to run.
No Obamatrade questions, but plenty of “Islamophobia” questions.
If Trump is the GOP nominee, I can’t think of a better choice of running mate for him than Jeff Sessions at this point. Earlier, I would have said that Ted Cruz is the natural choice, but there’s probably too much bad blood and disagreement between them at this point.
Sessions has a better reputation in the Senate and would provide a good sounding board and counter weight for Trump as well.
That he doesn’t covet the position is also a plus.
