For starters, to avoid the kind of obstructionism that prevailed in the last eight years, the next president must engage Congress directly and actively. And, in fact, two of the Obama administration’s recent wins – the passage of so-called trade promotion authority (fast-track negotiating authority to conclude the Trans-Pacific Partnership) and the reauthorization of the small but vital Export-Import Bank – were the result of dedicated outreach, education, and, yes, cajoling of lawmakers.
首先，为了避免过去八年中所出现的阻挠一切的情况，下一位美国总统必须直接、积极地参与国会。而事实上，奥巴马政府的两次最近的胜利——通过所谓的贸易促进授权（快车道谈判授权以完成跨太平洋合作伙伴关系）和对规模较小但至关重要的进出口银行的重新授权——便是不遗余力的广泛接触、教育以及，是的，诱导立法者的结果。
