You sir are mistaken. While the constitution requires a supermajority for treaties the purpose of fast track is to concede additional authority from congress to the executive branch. I would like to remind you in 1993 NAFTA was passed, under fast track, by 61-38. While the Senate may undo it do you honestly expect that to happen?
The fate of this bill will be determined by fast track. Those who supported fast track have shown their position on the treaty.

NAFTA has not been a problem. Our problem has been trade with China which requires China’s partial ownership of every business and the stealing of said intellectual property.
Treaties can’t be undone, but a simple Senate majority, can.

By the way:
“Those who supported fast track have shown their position on the treaty.”
What treaty are you/we talking about? There are no treaties. Do I need to explain this to you all over?
If you can point to a treaty, we have a different discussion yet to be had.
