How Congress Voted on Trade Trade Promotion Authority, or TPA, would “fast-track” the TPP and TTIP once they are finalized. This means that Congress will consider the deals without the opportunity for senators to filibuster or for members of either chamber to propose an amendment. It will be an up-or-down vote. Congress is deliberating whether to tie its hands together now in order to prevent the trade deals from unravelling once its members get a look later.
Thank you for showing information to us from real online congressional records and associated Internet research aids. We have a terrible lack of that good practice in political discussions.
