> Just a reminder: the TPP, like most trade deals, is negotiated in secret, but ratified in public. The final version of the deal will be published in 30 days, and then Congress gets 90 days to consider before an up-or-down vote.
It's a maximum of 90 days after the implementing bill is introduced in Congress. There's no deadline for that bill to be introduced, but the bill can't be introduced until at least 30 days after the final text is submitted.[1] from [2]
