Is the President even allowed to just rip up trade agreements? Are we talking common sense and reality here or are we just spewing whatever crap will whip the crowd into a frenzy?

He can't, and he won't. You have all sorts of contracts, business relationships, etc. Dependent upon that trade. Components manufactured in one country for use in another, etc. If you ripped everything up - which he couldn't do unilaterally anyway because - the disruption would be immense.

You'd have to pass something setting a repeal date a few years down the road.

Oh I know. But it’s apparent some people don’t.
