LIVE THREAD: House debate and vote on Obamatrade: C-span 1
C-span 1
Posted on 06/12/2015 6:38:32 AM PDT by ken5050
The House this morning takes up the bill to authorize Obama to negotiate a Trans-Pacific trade deal. Despite the GOP leadership's support, conservatives may well defeat it: they fell by one vote short last night, on a procedural vote on the rule, that would have killed it. Call your congresscritters to vote NO, and post comments and links here if you wish

Looks like Trade Promotion passes... Trade assistance fails. Now they have the third part to vote on.

This is what total betrayal feels like. They even cheered their treason on the floor.

The House Boner urging support (TPA won by one vote).
To: kjam22
FYI - Obama does not need the TPA or TAA in order to pass TPP. It’s just that without TPA, especially, he can pass TPP without the public seeing what’s in it. WITH TPA, the public will have 60 days to review it and see what’s in it.

We tried warning people. People new better than us evil purists.
To: kjam22
Very strange...NYT says the bill was rejected. I wonder if ‘O’ will veto TPA which does not include TAA?

Boehner now makes motion to reconsider the TAA part they lost. AT some point they will re-vote that.
CSPAN says the TPA part can't go to the president unless the TAA is also passed. These two are joined together by the Senate. So as of now... it is all still not going into law. Not sure when the reconsideration vote will happen.
RIght now they are voting on a tax code bill.

So now they are going to reconsider the union trade bill that they just defeated (TAA) before the TPA bill.
It will pass now because the Dems will change their votes. And they wouldn’t be bringing it back up unless it was going to pass.

GOP adopts dem vote until victory strategy. Thank God we elected him no matter what because Dems are worse!
