If your interpretation were correct, we could have hundreds of Congressmen each negotiating on behalf of the United States with foreign countries.
That's not feasible and it's not what the Constitution requires. Congress enacts laws and it has oversight of Executive Branch activities.
There's a reason why Congress approves of Cabinet appointments. It is to empower them to conduct the business of the United States, including our discourse with foreign nations.
Yes, I am a lawyer and I have a very keen interest in the Constitution. There are many things that the Government does which it has no constitutional authority to do. Fast Track is NOT one of those.

DG, #1 How else do YOU "interpret" the words, "Congress shall have the power...... 'To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations.....'"??
#2 "My 'interpretation'" is that the body of Congress shall have the power to regulate {negotiate and finalize agreements for Presidential approval or disaproval}. NOT "each" Congresscritter.
Again, you are putting "interpretations" on the words of others. That must have been some law school that they taught you how to do that. Mind reading. NO FAST TRACK!! It IS un-Constitutional!!! Peace and love, George.

"However proper or safe it may be in governments where the executive magistrate is an hereditary monarch, to commit to him the entire power of making treaties, it would be utterly unsafe and improper to intrust that power to an elective magistrate of four years' duration." - Federalist #75
"He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties..." - U.S. Constitution - Article II, Section 2
"First. That the supremacy of the national power in the general field of foreign affairs, including power over immigration, naturalization and deportation, is made clear by the Constitution was pointed out by authors of The Federalist in 1787,9 and has since been given continuous recognition by this Court." - U.S. Supreme Court, HINES v.
