13. But NAFTA was ratified under Clinton, and Clinton did push for its ratification.
In the United States, NAFTA was able to secure passage after Bill Clinton made its passage a major legislative priority in 1993.

During that election cycle Ross Perot distinguished himself from the other candidates with strong opposition. Clinton triangulated on GHW Bush and, as the DLC leaned toward neo-liberal economics anyway, supported the treaty.
