How the TPA could fast-track Obama’s green agenda
Sen.

If the TPA bill receives a final cloture vote in the Senate Tuesday, it will end up on Obama’s desk and signed into law. This would then allow the president unfettered ability to write complex treaties that can’t be changed or modified by the Legislative branch, and the Senate’s only job would be to rubber-stamp it yeah or nay.
According to Sessions’ open letter to congress, “an enormous amount has been discovered about how the President plans to use this authority – information that was either not known or understood when the vote was held.” He goes on to say that the TPA includes a “pledge by this Administration to use the TPA to impose ‘environmental governance.’” In fact, Sessions has just learned that Obama’s trade representative, Michael Froman, said no treaty would proceed without environmental considerations:
