> "On May 6th of this year, I sent you a letter (enclosed) regarding your request for Congress to grant you fast-track executive authority,” Session wrote to Obama on Friday in a letter provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release. “Under fast-track, Congress transfers its authority to the executive and agrees to give up several of its most basic powers. These concessions include: the power to write legislation, the power to amend legislation, the power to fully consider legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote."

sounds like a tyrant's wet dream...

Its just a letter and Obama will ignore it. The Republican congress has been way to passive with him. Obama does not respect or fear them so a letter will have no effect whatsoever on him. Anything short of legislative action to contain him will be an exercise in futility.
