14. Nope. No TAA means it has to go back to the Senate.

And they're not going to pass TPA without TAA. So it will fail there. Then there will be a new round of bills to try and get TPA passed again. But they're running out of time due to the elections coming up, and they're getting more and more pressure from both party's bases to reject it.

It's still doable, but it's going to be harder.
