    Obama signs TPA bill which circumvents two thirds vote requirement

    .

    While the nation is struggling with two tyrannical Supreme Court majority opinions, Obama signs the bill allowing him to usurp Congress' power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and also defies our Constitution's two thirds approval vote for any deals cooked up our president.


    See Obama signs bill giving himself fast-track powers for trade deals


    6/29/2015


    ”President Barack Obama signed a bill giving him "fast-track" powers to conduct and conclude trade legislation. The bill was approved by Congress last week after months of contentious debate and several difficult votes.”


    Let us not forget the bill unconstitutionally lowers the Constitution’s required two thirds vote to approve any deals cooked up by the president with foreign governments.


    And, here is a list of dirt bag traitorous Republican Senators who voted to circumvent our representative system of government and allow the president to usurp Congress' legislative functions:


    Alexander, Tenn.; Ayotte, N.H.; Barrasso, Wyo.; Blunt, Mo.; Boozman, Ark.; Burr, N.C.; Capito, W.V.; Cassidy, La.; Coats, Ind.; Cochran, Miss.; Corker, Tenn.; Cornyn, Texas; Cotton, Ark.; Crapo, Idaho; Cruz, Texas; Daines, Mont.; Ernst, Iowa; Fischer, Neb.; Flake, Ariz.; Gardner, Colo.; Graham, S.C.; Grassley, Iowa; Hatch, Utah; Heller, Nev.; Hoeven, N.D.; Inhofe, Okla.; Isakson, Ga.; Johnson, Wis.; Kirk, Ill.; Lankford, Okla.; McCain, Ariz.; McConnell, Ky.; Moran, Kan.; Murkowski, Alaska; Perdue, Ga.; Portman, Ohio; Risch, Idaho; Roberts, Kan.; Rounds, S.D.; Rubio, Fla.; Sasse, Neb.; Scott, S.C.; Sullivan, Alaska; Thune, S.D.; Tillis, N.C.; Toomey, Pa.; Vitter, La.; Wicker, Miss.


    And, CLICK HERE for the list of House Republicans who spat upon our Constitution and ignored its expressed requirement for a two thirds approval vote for any deals cooked up by our president with foreign powers.


    Our founders fear is explicitly stated in Federalist No. 75 by Hamilton with regard to the President’s treaty making authority and why the President was not granted an arbitrary power to make “CONTRACTS with foreign nations, which have the force of law.” unless approved by a two thirds vote. Hamilton points out the president:

    “might sometimes be under temptations to sacrifice his duty to his interest, which it would require superlative virtue to withstand. An avaricious man might be tempted to betray the interests of the state to the acquisition of wealth. An ambitious man might make his own aggrandizement, by the aid of a foreign power, the price of his treachery to his constituents. The history of human conduct does not warrant that exalted opinion of human virtue which would make it wise in a nation to commit interests of so delicate and momentous a kind, as those which concern its intercourse with the rest of the world, to the sole disposal of a magistrate created and circumstanced as would be a President of the United States.”

    Let us not forget those members of Congress who voted to circumvent our constitution this coming elections. These House and Senate whores need to be punished for defying the two thirds vote designed to control a treacherous president.

    The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. ___ Madison, Federalist Paper No. 47

    Fast track has apparently been around since 1974. 67 members of the senate would need to vote on a free trade pact with another nation if there were no 'fast track'. The U.S./Colombia free trade agreement is an example where less than 67 members of the senate voted for the pact. So if an American harmed by the U.S./Colombia free trade agreement sued the federal government for damages resulting from fast track, couldn't that be a way of ending fast track?

    Our Constitution requires a two thirds approval vote for any deals cooked up by our president with foreign countries. The recently passed bill lowers that to a simple majority without a constitutional amendment having been passed.

    So firing squad or hanging for signatories? This stuff confuses the hell out of me.

    'We endorse the idea of voluntarism; self-responsibility: Family, friends, and churches to solve problems, rather than saying that some monolithic government is going to make you take care of yourself and be a better person. It's a preposterous notion: It never worked, it never will. The government can't make you a better person; it can't make you follow good habits.' - Ron Paul 1988

    I know. The U.S./Colombia free trade agreement is an example where less than 67 members of the senate voted for the pact.

    (In other words, the federal courts charged with upholding the Constitution are given a case where the Constitution was not upheld. Fast track has been around since 1974 under Nixon.)

    However, in order to assist blockage of Fast Track for Obama’s proposed ‘trade’ treaties, it would greatly help if one or more of the very vocal opponents in the U.S. Senate, against Fast-Tracking these treaties — Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, and Harry Reid, for examples — would petition the Supreme Court to rule on the Constitutionality of the provision in the Trade Act of 1974 that introduced Fast Track, and thus on Fast Track’s abolition of the Constitution’s two-thirds rule. Perhaps the case might become titled something like, “Warren v. United States,” where “Warren” stands for America’s public, and “United States” stands for America’s aristocracy.

    Never forget the driving force behind the TPA bill.... Boehner and McConnell. Obama was dead in the water with his own party, until those two thugs rammed it through for him. Strange bed fellows, those three.
