Summary

Discusses why trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, World Trade Organization agreements, and multilateral and bilateral free trade agreements are subject to a majority vote of both Houses of Congress rather than a two-thirds vote of the Senate. Examines the statutory authority for trade agreements, the development of the statutory trade agreements program, and the constitutionality of Congressional-executive trade agreements.
