fast track act
Explanation:
El camino a hacer a un lado la facultadad legislativa, deliberativa de las asambleas; es un paso tendiente a la dictadura. En USA, hay muchos antecedentes, desde el siglo antepasado, pero el más reciente es el de Clinton, que obtuvo "fast track capability" para firmar tratados comerciales, y este Bush, que siguió la costumbre.
