With the Constitution something as huge as TPP would take years of amendments , committee votes, debate, and then it would have to pass a 60% cloture vote. ALL of these checks on Obama your TPA removes . You TPA says only a 51% vote , no debate ,no ammendments needed to pass country destroying TPP. that's un American. you are brainwashed
How fast do you think they will pass TPP after the dictators finish it? it will be fast tracked and the media won't even cover it. it will be worse than obamacare as we didn't see what was in that either.
That is not how trade agreements are negotiated. There has not been a trade agreement negotiated for the last 80 years without TPA. Countries are not going to sign an agreement that has been years in the making only to have the rug pulled from under them. Why not have Congress involved throughout the negotiations so that there is agreement between all parties and no need for deal breaking amendments?
Would you rather have transparency or the secretive process we have now?
If Dems regain control of the Senate, TPA will never be given to another President. That is why we haven’t had it since 2007 when the last one expired.
We are losing out in trade markets because we don’t have a process in place to negotiate new markets. It is hurting our economy. I know Democrats like to demonize trade agreements so they don’t have to focus on what is really sending our jobs out of the country, regulations, unions, and high corporate taxes.
Senator Cruz would not and will not give President Obama one more inch of unrestricted power.
