Congress could vote on Trade Promotion Authority as a stand alone bill as soon as Thursday, congressional sources tell the Associated Press.
The new plan under consideration would have the House vote on TPA — which would grant President Obama fast-track authority to negotiate trade deals — separately from the Trade Adjustment Assistance provision rejected last week.
The decision to split up the bills comes as House Republican leaders and the White House attempt to figure out a way to pass “fast-track” in the face of diverse opposition. As the AP reports:
Now Obama and his allies are considering something they had desperately hoped to avoid: revisiting trade legislation in the Senate, possibly after the House votes on a simplified fast track bill. It would give Senate opponents another chance to strangle the legislation with costly delays and other tactics.
According to The Hill, White House spokesman Josh Earnest did not express opposition to the move, merely stating that both TPA and TAA should be passed.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Keep voting on it until you get the desired result.
Reminds me of the Florida recounts in 2000.
Just how many times will they take delight in telling us to kiss off?
Yeah, I know, until the next time they come around crying and pleading for us to vote them back into office.
Good luck with that. Throw ‘em all out, I say.
But hey, be sure to vote R in 2016! Because somehow, someway, in some dipstick’s warped mind, the R’s are better than the D’s, or something...
—...which would grant President Obama fast-track authority to negotiate trade deals...—
After seven years of tyranny, why would the Congress even consider giving anything to 0bama? Only a communist would say he can be trusted.
It’s only a couple of short years before the next CIC is installed. What’s the hurry? No agreement is better than a bad one.
Every candidate should go on record as to what they think about moving forward so quickly (NOT the fast-track authority itself) and why. These are reasonable questions for the electorate.
You don't need to vote. The fraudulent electronic voting machines & counters will get the desired results these elites want.
Good analogy.
They’re going to make Ted Cruz vote on it again so he can take a 2nd round of beatings from conservatives.
Why was Obamacare in part of the TPA text.
So the GOP sell outs will give this Marxist president authority to rewrite immigration laws and weaken our national sovereignty in the name of trade. Anyone who votes for Obamatrade should be primaried next year.
“Obama and his allies”
I rest my lesser evil case.
Yep. Of course, new and improved!
Reminds me of how they forced the European Union on some countries. They just kept forcing the citizens to revote until they got the results they wanted.
Boner’s looking at Congressional pension only if he doesn’t get this knife in the back pushed through.
100k per year? Sheesh, who can live on that?
K Street be callin’.
What the hell is the damn rush for? Aren’t there other more pressing problems in this country? Let’s fix our budget first.
Cruz for Obama.
Boehner for Obama.
RINOs for Obama.
Is there one Candidate who would not vote for Obama?
