Since TPA passed, TPP can be passed with a simple majority, no amendments allowed, straight up or down vote, rather than requiring a two-thirds majority because TPP is a trade agreement.

Now, Cruz can have his cake and eat it, too. He can refuse to vote for TPP knowing full well it will pass anyway and pretend voting for TPA had nothing to do with the fact that TPP is passed.
