Although I agree that Congress needs to be involved in all decisions affecting the United States, and believe that the President should be a mere figurehead and spokesperson for the Country, there is no bi-partisan support, signifying that there may also be some more corruption at play here, with this legislation.
Republicans have given the Congressional power away to the Executive Branch and now it is backfiring when their own trade policies and actions are harming the Country.
This legislation may actually just be a ploy to make it appear to their uneducated constituents, That Republicans actually care that they fucked up this Country and actually want to help the Citizens.
