Why Trade Promotion Authority is Constitutional by Ed Meese

[Democrat_media]

That's a bunch of lies and spin. why are your for giving Ob ma more power?

Fast track or trade promotion authority for Obama is the worst thing ever:

1. Fast track Lowers the Constitutional Senate approval from 66% to 51% for treaties.

2.Gives congress only 60 days to produce an up or down vote with no amendments shuts out the American people from the debate.
3 no amendments means any treaty written by Obama is passed almost automatically . So this is Obama writing laws which is a dictatorship.

4. Trade promotion authority is unconstitutional as the Constitution requires 2/3 of the Senate or 66% to approve treaties. this is dangerous empowering this monster Obama:

http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Treaties.htm
The Constitution provides that the president “shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur” (Article II, section 2). The Constitution's framers gave the Senate a share of the treaty power in order to give the president the benefit of the Senate's advice and counsel, check presidential power, and safeguard the sovereignty of the states by giving each state an equal vote in the treaty making process. As Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist no. 75, “the operation of treaties as laws, plead strongly for the participation of the whole or a portion of the legislative body in the office of making them.” The constitutional requirement that the Senate approve a treaty with a two-thirds vote means that successful treaties must gain support that overcomes partisan division.

Whether it is constitutional or not is NOT the issue. The issue is giving TPA to a President who has proven throughout his ENTIRE administration that he HATES AMERICA and is working to destroy us. What’s the RUSH? Obama only has a year and a few months. WAIT until a new President is elected and see just what we want to do. How many years was the pipeline delayed, only to pass, and be vetoed by Obama. i wouldn’t trust him with a soda straw, let alone ANOTHER PEN to screw America. (He wouldn’t even need a phone.!)
