To engage in the complicated procedural chicanery needed to revive the once-dead Obamatrade, bringing its Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) portion back to life, Ryan needed to gut a previous bill that has passed the House and Senate and then insert Obamatrade into it. It’s actually a very similar process to how Obamacare passed the House.

Grover Norquist’s Group: Obamatrade Tax Hike Was a ‘Tax’ Inside Obamacare, But Not with Paul Ryan’s Support
So, with all that said, 86 Republicans voted for a tax increase–and to violate Norquist’s pledge–when they voted for TAA last Friday. If they do it again on Tuesday, they’ll be violating it again–and of course if any other Republicans vote for TAA on Tuesday, if there is a vote, they’d be voting to violate Norquist’s pledge as well.

House GOP leadership seems to think it will hold another vote on TAA next week, but it’s highly unlikely that enough members from either party would change their votes to support TAA—especially enough Republicans, since TAA is a big government Democratic program—so Obamatrade is technically, not entirely, dead yet.
