Bridging the Hatch-Wyden Divide Over Trade Promotion Authority

Senators Strike Trade Deal to Let Congress Slow Fast Track

Go back and review the FR threads on this from April to behold the outrage and indignation at Hatch. I ain't going to dig them out for kool-aid drinkers with such short-memories.

Both of those articles show that 60 votes are required to change a fast tracked bill but neither states a simple majority (or 60 votes) is needed to either pass or stop a fast tracked item which is unchanged.

However, a simple majority can pass or fail a fast-tracked bill.

What’s not to understand?
