..”the fast track bill stops all changes and all debate”...

Really says who???....Why can’t it be changed???? Because it’s written you can’t?..... Since when has that been an issue under Obama who has bypassed all constitutional law that would have otherwise stopped his actions but didn’t.

I don’t believe for one minute that it can’t be changed because any who want to do that will do so regardless...and debates will go on behind the scenes as they always do .

The other thing to keep in mind is so what if Obama signs a piece of paper that hasn’t been voted on yet? That’s really the part that’s for “show”. Congress still retains an up or down vote and until that’s done, I would consider that piece of paper no more legal authority than any of the other unconstitutional executive orders he’s signed over the years.

Otherwise, what’s the point of this debate, just have Obozo start issuing Executive Orders declaring Trade Agreements with whatever countries.

It can be changed. Congress votes it down and sends the POTUS back to the drawing board, but ideally, a shrewd President would consult with Congress before negotiating first so that any signed agreement would be anticipated/assumed to be acceptable by Congress. Not that this POTUS would do that, but I have no doubt Cruz would utilize the purpose of TPA the way intended.

You need to catch up on current events.

You have no idea what Fast Track Is ?..

traitor Cruz and Ryan are ramming thru a provision that Stops all debate and kills the Constitution on a treaties requiring 66 votes to pass.

It gives Obama unlimited power over an Open treaty.
