No. Congress authorized those representatives, through Fast Track, to negotiate agreements without relinquishing either oversight or final approval. The authority itself expires after a set amount of time (I believe the current deadline is in 2007).

You really need to think this through . . . if Congress has the ultimate authority, but that authority is governed by the 2/3 rule, which branch of government regulates commerce with foreign nations if a 2/3 vote fails?

In other words, if Congress has the ultimate, plenary authority, what happens when your inevitable vacuum occurs?

Using your logic ... if Congress has the ultimate authority, but that authority is governed by a majority rule, which branch of government regulates commerce with foreign nations if a majority vote fails?
