WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats handed President Obama a stinging rebuke on Tuesday, blocking consideration of legislation granting their own president “fast track” power to complete a major trade accord with 11 nations in the Pacific Rim.
The Senate vote on a procedural motion to begin debating the bill to give the president “trade promotion authority,” was 52 to 45 in favor, eight short of the 60 needed for passage. Republicans and pro-trade Democrats said they will try to negotiate a trade package that can clear that threshold.
But the vote Tuesday presented Mr. Obama what might be a no-win situation. He may have to accept trade enforcement provisions he does not want to get the trade legislation through the Senate, but those same provisions might doom the Pacific trade negotiations that legislation is supposed to boost.

The ACA wasnt debated to the public on the floor of congress?
What partisan rubbish. Can't even give credit where credits actually due.
Really? Was it now? And how did they do such a thing? Please tell me.THE ACA in committee was kept from the public,
You really dont understand the basics of the Senate do you?and when it hit the floor, it was not given much debate time..
:yawn:.which it why it is referred to as being "rammed down the throats of americans"
May democrats do actually oppose trade deals that are harmful to American workers.Its shame that so many republicans some democrats have their lips firmly wrapped around the cocks of businesses owners who wish to outsource.
