Secret trade pact has sweeping unconstitutional powers - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions and California Congressman Duncan Hunter, both Republicans, are trying to blow the whistle on the "president's" trade pact--the conditions of which have been kept secret. Sessions said on the Sean Hannity Show that "it is far more than a trade agreement. It is a creating of an economic union. The congressional resource said it is a wide-ranging political and economic partnership that is created where the Sultan of Brunei gets one vote. The president of the United States gets one vote. Twelve countries--they have the ability to add other treaties and pass them. They have the ability to deal with climate issues, wage issues and environmental issues."
Hunter says that Congress is about to give the president unprecedented extra-Constitutional authority on immigration, climate change and other political issues. Sessions says he has seen the agreement three times and it consists of several hundred pages with about 50 pages laying out a Pacific Economic Union where Congress has no input on political issues such as taxes on climate change. In a joint statement, they said, "...Congress would be formally authorizing the President to finalize the creation of this Pacific Union and will have surrendered its legislative prerogatives. Before a word, line, paragraph, or page of this plan is made public, Congress will have agreed to give up its treaty powers."
The joint statement says, "The Trans-Pacific Partnership resembles a treaty more than a trade deal...it confers the power to both compel and restrict changes to US policy, to commit the US to new international obligations, and to cede sovereign authority to a foreign body. Specifically, TPP calls for the formation of a permanent political and economic union known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership Commission, which will have the power to issue regulations impacting not only trade but immigration, the environment, labor, and commerce. This global union would be able to add new member countries and, because TPP is a 'living agreement,' it will be able to change the agreement after its ratification."
Very few congressmen and senators have read the pact, which is kept in secret. Sessions and Hunter state: "In its rush to approve these new powers for the President, Congress risks the jobs, wages, rights, and sovereignty of US citizens. [sic the president] demands we give him this new authority, yet he refuses to answer even the most basic questions about it. What we do know is that whatever structure the President creates with these new powers-we are told that the plan is 'the most progressive in history'-it will endure long after he has left office." Let us pray that the rest of Congress becomes an Ephesians 5:11 body, having "no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." The Greek word for "reprove" in this verse means to convince with solid, compelling evidence, especially to expose. Let it be so.
