BS

It doesn’t stop Congress from voting up or down.

Scenario 1:

POTUS negotiates a Trade Deal
Deal goes to Congress, made public for 60 days
Congress votes up or down as is. If there’s enough garbage in it, vote it down, otherwise they pass it.

Congressional authority is not taken away and Cruz isn’t lying.

Stop falling for the Warren/Schumer tactics of falsifying arguments with no facts to back it up.

If TPP goes through as I believe it will.....just by nature of all the hoops it will have to go thru it will not be official til the election and after our guys are in charge.

[ncalburt]

Fast Track is meant to ram thru this Trojan Horse treason treaty not debate it! .

Who are you trying to fool here.?.

Its time for you K Street Trolls to get lost.

BS. Of course Congress is ceding its authority to the WH. And what about the American people? What kind of transparency and accountability do they have from their elected officials. The Constitution is being stood on its head. Congress can't even amend the legislation.

If, as promoters amazingly suggest, the President had more powers without fast-track, he would veto it. The authority granted in “Trade Promotion Authority” is authority transferred from Congress to the Executive and, ultimately, to international bureaucrats. The entire purpose of fast-track is for Congress to surrender its power to the Executive for six years. Legislative concessions include: control over the content of legislation, the power to fully consider that legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote. Legislation cannot even be amended.

So why does the WH need this authority?

[Menehune56]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t TPA require a 60 vote super majority to defeat subsequent Obama trade deals, like TPP, that have unacceptable features? That’s quite a hurdle to jump which probably explains why none of these fast tracked things have ever been defeated.

Ask parksstp is he’s employed by a candidate, party or if he is otherwise employed as a lobbying agent in the political sphere.
