So basically Cruz wants to do away with the 2/3 requirement for the US Senate to pass a treaty with a foreign nation. He wants it replaced with a simple majority requirement in the US Senate and US House. He also wants to do away with the amendment process. What a stupid thing to risk your candidacy over considering who would be given that power for the next year and a half. Presidents are not kings and these trade agreements are not worth making them a king.

No, this is how TPA/TPP has always been done and it has been done for more than 10 Presidents.

And Cruz is anything but stupid.
Therefore, there is another explanation.
