How can he sign a trade agreement that wasn't approved by Congress? The President doesn't have the ability to unilaterally sign trade agreements! They MUST be approved by Congress. That's why they voted on it DUmmy!

And if NAFTA was such a bad idea, why didn't Former President Clinton veto it?

The US Senate has voted to grant President George W Bush full trade negotiating powers.

The result was seen as a long-awaited victory for the White House, which has been seeking such powers for the President since he was elected in November 2000.
