Ted Cruz's clever way to cut red tape via NAFTA

The Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny, or REINS, Act shifts power back to the legislature by tying the hands of the administration. If Senate Democrats really fear President Trump as an authoritarian, they should seize this opportunity.

You would think Democrats would jump at the opportunity to curb President Trump’s powers. Yet, they have made it clear that they would filibuster a bill to do that.

Their hostility is directed at the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny, or REINS, Act, which gives lawmakers on Capitol Hill power to review executive actions. And given their determination and ability to filibuster they can stop it in its tracks.

But Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is proposing an innovative way to check the progress of the runaway regulatory state by making it part of a renegotiated NAFTA deal...

It looks like a step in the right direction and even that one step will have to be fought for.

Ahh, using the treaty power to end-run the legislative process.

Actually, according to the article, it: "...shifts power back to the legislature by tying the hands of the administration."
