That is exactly what TPA does. It makes Congress part of the process, restricts the President in what he can do, and requires him to regularly report on the negotiations to Congress. Without TPA, the public gets No review.
Yet the public is still out of hearing anything until the 60-day period. They end up waiting until the tail end of the process, where the likeliness for change is at its lowest.
I don’t support such confinement of public access to the text (read: more than Congress) to a carefully-controlled period of time.

But many oppose it believing that passing TPA opens the way for passage of TPP which they don’t want.

Review? The American people have been reviewing this for the last couple of weeks and are 20 to 1 against it. And as everyone can see, OUR review meant nothing. And what if the President does not comply.......are they gonna impeach him......nope.
