How The Media Deceive The Public About “Fast Track” And The “Trade Bills”<\/a><\/h3>\n

The way that \u201cFast Track\u201d is described to the American public<\/strong>\u00a0is as an alternative method for the Senate to handle \u201cTrade Bills\u201d (TPP & TTIP) that the President presents to the Senate for their approval; and this alternative method is said to be one in which \u201cno amendments are permitted, and there will be a straight up-or-down vote on the bill.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, in fact, the \u201cFast Track\u201d method is actually to require only 50 Senators to vote \u201cYea\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0in order for the measure to be approved by the Senate, whereas the method that is described and required in (Section 2 of) the U.S. Constitution is that the President\u00a0\u201cshall have the Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 That\u2019s not 50 Senators; it\u2019s 67 Senators, that the Constitution requires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In other words:\u00a0\u201cFast Track Trade Promotion Authority\u201d (which was invented by the imperial President Richard Nixon in 1974, in order to advance his goal of a dictatorial Executive, that the Presidency would become a dictatorship) lowers the Constitutionally required approval from 67 Senators down to only 50 Senators.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This two-thirds rule is set forth in the Constitution in order to make especially difficult the passing-into-law of any treaty that the United States will have with any foreign country. The same two-thirds requirement is set forth for amending the Constitution, except that that\u2019s a two-thirds requirement in both the House and the Senate: it can be done\u00a0\u201cby either: two-thirds (supermajority) of both the Senate and the House of Representatives \u2026; or by a national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds (at present 34) of the states.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
