What about the 6 GOP gutless reps who were too coward to vote.
They are more gutless than the ones who voted yes.
The only Constitutionally enumerated power that a Pres has with other countries concerning ‘agreement’s is a Treaty.
Every single time they rob, loot and screw Americans while kicking America down a few more notches, that's exactly what we're told...
I've had enough.
Article 1 section 8 says Congress is empowered to regulate national and international trade. Congress carries this out through its normal legislative processes, not the special process for treaties. Congress first started these “fast track” trade agreements back in the 1970s but I think the precedent for handling trade agreements through the normal processes goes back quite a bit further than that.
It wasn’t a 2/3 requirement, because it’s not a treaty. It was a 60 vote requirement to close debate, and the ability to add amendments.
Funny you sent that to yourself.............
Everyone needs to just calm the heck down about all this. You are being spun by Trumps minions.
If TPP is no biggie why is it being kept Top Secret? Bush made public his trade agreements before asking for a TPA.
So the recent precedent is to release the text before a TPA. That’s not happening here. Why is that? That’s certainly a condition Congress could have requested before a vote on TPA and they are not. Why is that?
I once thought Paul Ryan would make a great President.
So did I. And I also once thought the same about Rubio and Cruz. But it’s clear now that none of them have any interest in defending Main Street from corportist and marxist assaults. Conservatives will never win this war if our generals go AWOL on the battlefield.
“”BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow Federal law enforcement officers, firefighters, and air traffic controllers to make penalty-free withdrawals from governmental plans after age 50, and for other purposes””
Just when we think we might have had a little clarification on this whole mess, you link us to what? An amendment to the Internal Revenue Code - penalty free withdrawals from government pension plans?
Everyone needs to just calm the heck down about all this. You are being spun by Trumps minions.

At last, a little sanity. But note that this isn’t just Trump. The RandBots are also very active. Their goal: Kill Cruz Candidacy.
It is a treaty, obamacare is not about health care, and Jenner is still a man.
“There must be big forces at work here causing these conservatives to go right along with a treaty that will be detrimental to United State sovereignty. “
Yes, the US Chamber of Commerce (er Communists).
“I once thought Paul Ryan would make a great President.
“
Ditto for Ted Cruz. He’s dead to me now.
Redefine anything like the left is doing and everything is anything.
The Supreme Court has made a lot of unconstitutional rulings but that doesn’t make the rulings correct.
It’s all choreographed and manipulated. They know who’s voting on what.
These are professional government bureaucrats.
Insider back door deals. The only reason a few vote against or for something is they know damn well what the vote numbers are going to be. This way ya can’t blame the entire party....They say it was only a few bad apples...Oh shucks, we came so close to winning....You know, it was the RINO’s and GOPe...and on and on. Day in day out.
The Republicans are so corrupt, they gave themselves different names for crips sakes.
Do the corrupt Democrats do this too?
