I still don’t get the up or down vote vs debate. What am I missing? TIA.

That part I do not understand. Are we sure that is the case?

Under TPA, Obama and the next president — over the next six years — would have the ability to negotiate trade deals without Congress making modifications or amendments. >>>Congress only gets an up or down vote.<<< In the past 40 years, no fast-track trade deals have ever been stopped by Congress, as Breitbart News earlier reported.
