Clinton-style centrist economics rests on a surprisingly shaky foundation

Congress does not have the ability to enter into irreversible treaties or compacts, nor ratify any such agreement. If what you were describing were true...the multinationals would de-jure have no right to the money as the FTAs would be illegitimate and illegal under US law from the outset.

Basically, Congress cannot enter into any agreement they're not free to leave at any time without penalty. It's why Trump's platform including unilateral NATO withdrawal is slightly problematic...while Americans may not be keen on military pacts, we'd have a problem if we exercised our ability to walk out on our treaty. Nobody wants to be allies with someone that feels free to walk out on them at the drop of a hat.

Walking away from our FTAs would be equally problematic...but it cannot be restricted or illegal in the way you specify.
