The U.S. Senate will take up legislation to give President Barack Obama the trade negotiating authority he wants “very soon,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
“It’s been almost an out of body experience but we’ve been working closely with the White House,” McConnell told reporters Tuesday as he said the trade bill would follow action on two other measures. “We’re working together to try to get it across the finish line.”
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, a foe of “fast-track” trade authority, called on Republicans to first consider measures to extend federal highway funding and modify U.S. surveillance laws.
So why is there a Republican Party? They don't deliver anything we couldn't get delivered by the Democrats. And at least the Democrats don't pretend they're Republicans.

They're doing it now...saving us from employment and the burden of wealth and retirement, among other economic travesties.

Term Limits - two for Senator and three for representatives for a maximum time of 12 years each.
While we're at it, let's cut out this misguided notion of federal judges being appointed for life and give them eight year terms, eh?

Republic of Texas 1836-1846, re-established 201x? I kid.
No other country has it nearly as right as we do
although Texas has it the most right
The term limitations have been established. 6yrs for senators and 2yrs for reps. Our job to vote them out.
