Fastrack is unConstitutional,

A interesting argument that is posed often in Congress each year that it is debated.

I tend to agree that is is indeed, and the founders did not envision many of the things we call trade, both international and interstate.

On this subject we will have to agree.

A constitutional amendment should have been done prior to ALL of these things, but it was not. The argument continues but gains little traction on either side of the aisle depending on who is president. They have made it purely political.

Therefore, the public sees trade as too important to politicize and allows things like NAFTA and others to be decided by the admin.

Fastrack is unConstitutional under the separation of powers. That is purely looking at it from a federal level, it has nothing to do with politics.

Don't say the public thinks its ok for the president to act in an unconstitutional manner, there is absolutely no evidence that that is true, even in the matter of trade.

When Clinton was president, he couldn't get fast track passed because the public rightly feared what he would do with it. The public is obviously unhappy with the current state of trade if it is becoming a campaign issue.
