When Fast Track expires at the end of June this year. Congress can reclaim our authority granted by Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution "to regulate commerce with foreign nations." For 23 years. Congress and the working class watched the executive branch commandeer U.S. trade policy. We also saw real wages stagnate. American jobs move overseas. child labor flourish. global warming take hold. illegal immigrants stream across our borders. our trade deficit soar. and the drug trade thrive. Like many of us here. I receive thousands of letters. phone calls. and emails from my constituents asking me to take action on these important issues.
