This 'fast track' authority has been given to every president since FDR because it is necessary if you’re going to have international agreements.

Utter, reeking bullshit.

So, apparently, before FDR, there was no such thing as an international agreement? Otherwise known as a "treaty"?

Who cares when this crap started? It hamstrings Congress' ability to amend the agreement. It's an act of capitulation. That's not a good thing.

And it also places enormous pressure to then pass a bill which could be horribly flawed, because since it can't be amended, you'd have to throw the whole thing out and start over.

All that fast track authority does is relieve legislators of their Constitutional responsibility to act in the best interest of the American People, and to do the hard legwork necessary to hammer out a good agreement for the country.

"Fast track authority is necessary?" Again, that's total globalist propaganda.
