The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday passed Trade Promotion Authority (TPA, better known as Fast Track) giving President Obama what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) admitted is “an enormous grant of power, obviously, from a Republican Congress to a Democratic president.”

But...but...America has just been recently assured by many prominent Republicans that passing TPA would not give him any more power.

So who is lying now?

That’s the perplexing question, here, as well.

Trade promotion authority or fast track gives up the 66% Senate approval the Constitution requires to pass a trade bill. That is thrown away for a simple 51% up or down vote in Congress, no debate and no amendments. It also gives up amendments . What this equals is a an Obama dictatorship as treaties override U.S. laws.It makes these bills unstoppable as no amendments are now allowed and only 51% to pass .

so fast track = obama rewriting U.S. immigration laws, gun laws etc. = the end of America

Who is lying now? Anyone who supports this Obamatrade lying or is mad as it will destroy a free country, the greatest civilization America.
