Prevail in the event of a conflict with the trade agreement. Third, it affirms that no trade agreement can prevent congress and the states from changing their laws in the future. Fourth it confirms that the administration cannot unilaterally change u. S. Law. As you can see mr. President far from abdicating congresss power over u. S. Trade policy, our t. P. A. Bill enhances the role of congress when it comes to trade agreements. Immigration, in addition to general concerns about constitutional powers and u. S. Sovereignty, ive heard some express specific concerns that president obama could use the Transpacific Partnership to enact changes to our immigration laws and that t. P. A. Will somehow empower him to do so. These concerns are unfounded for at least two reasons. First, immigration is completely irrelevant to the objectives to the t. P. A.

The wall street journal says the suit alleges that visa swipe fees went against antitrust regulations and in turn turns up more than 350 billion over the course of nine years. This has been an ongoing battle between the retailers and credit card companies. There was legislation passed in the senate to change the balance of this. They say 5 billion this is over the course of five years. I guess they figure lets start with this. But more important than the 5 billion theyre looking for, theyre looking to change the course of how payments are made in the futu

Good evening, it was a day of colliding images and actions on capitol hill. In a rare bipartisan vote the house of representatives today passed the no budget, no pay, 3 month extension of the debt ceiling, speaker boehner, winning the support of most of his majority as well as 85 democrats for the bill. The speaker embraced congressman paul ryans new plan to balance the budget in 10 year period. In contrast, partisanship on parade. Chamber trying to figure out what clinton knew and when she knew it. No answers were forth coming, and the secretary assumed either no knowledge or no blame over the course of 5 hours of testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs committee.
