Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 states that:
[The Congress shall have Power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
Article 2, Section 2, Clause 3 states that:
[The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur
NAFTA is both a regulation of commerce with foreign nations and a treaty so both clauses are important in granting authority to Congress to approve NAFTA.
