A little bit of history on executive agreements like this:

Prior to 1940 the U.S. Senate had ratified 800 treaties and presidents had made 1,200 executive agreements; from 1940 to 1989, during World War II and the Cold War, presidents signed nearly 800 treaties but negotiated more than 13,000 executive agreements.

Everyone needs to just calm the heck down about all this. You are being spun by Trumps minions.

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.

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?

At last, a little sanity. But note that this isn’t just Trump. The RandBots are also very active. Their goal: Kill Cruz Candidacy.

And where is "executive agreements" listed in our Constitution under the powers delegated to the president?

Why do you ignore the checks and balanced our founders wrote into the Constitution to limit the president's authority?

No, we're not. We oppose secret agreements, and we are suspicious of this panicked rush to stack the deck for a sweeping trade treaty whose provisions are being hidden from us. We smell a rat when untrustworthy GOPe leaders like Boehner and McCarthy want Congress to neuter its Constitutional powers to prevent a bad agreement from becoming law -- forfeiting its rights to filibuster or amend whatever a president puts in front of them. We have wized up to the "spin" of Republicans who have proven to be just as bad as any Democrat. Fool me six times, shame on you...
