So you Isara are for giving Obama fast track power.
You are for dismantling the constitution and destroying America since you are for giving Obama fast track or trade promotion authority.
The Constitution requires that 66% of the Senate approve any treaty (and amendments are allowed).
With this fast track or trade promotion Authority bill they want to lower it to 51% and no amendments and only 60 days to pass a bill. that’s a dictatorship and the end of America. Obama can basically rewrite USA laws as treaties override USA laws.
It would be ridiculously easy to pass a treaty with only a 51% up or down vote , no debates and no amendments and only 60 days to pass it as the people wouldn’t have enough time to get the message to their representatives.
This is unconstitutional. We want amendments that could kill a bad bill as the Constitution allows. We want 66% approval not 51% .Call Congress . Tell them to vote no on TPA (Trade promotion authority).
Trade Agreements are Agreements and not Treaties. They contain tariffs and revenues and the Constitution requires approval of both Houses of Congress.
TPA mandates that the Congress be involved in the negotiations and restricts what the President can and can’t do, requiring him to report regularly to Congress. TPA also mandates that any agreement be made public for 60 days before a vote. We have none of these protections now. Now everything is secret and we will not know what the agreement is.
