I LOVE U.S. REPRESENTATIVE KATIE PORTER "With regard to Sen. Manchin, and others who want to talk about the price tag of this... If something costs A, you have 2 options. You can negotiate down from A, or you can find the money. (to pay for it) We have revenue options on the table... I have the will to do it, the question is does Sen. Manchin or is he more concerned about his corporate donors... Who are getting away with paying nothing in our current tax system."

Elizabeth MacDonough Under Fire: Why Trump Demands Her Dismissal

## When Procedure Meets Politics: Trump Calls for the Ouster of Senate Parliamentarian President Donald Trump has publicly demanded the removal of Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough after she ruled that a $1 billion security‑spending line for a White House ballroom violated the Byrd Rule. The decision, which blocked the provision from the Republican‑led budget reconciliation bill, has ignited a sharp partisan backlash and raised questions about the balance of power in congressional budgeting. ### Key Takeaways - **MacDonough’s Ruling:** The parliamentarian determined the ballroom line was a non‑budgetary measure, breaching the Byrd Rule that safeguards reconciliation from unrelated spending. - **Trump’s Reaction:** The former president labeled the decision “unconstitutional” and urged Senate leadership to fire MacDonough immediately. - **Republican Outcry:** House Republicans have echoed Trump’s demand, framing the ruling as an overreach that undermines the GOP’s fiscal agenda. - **Procedural Implications:** The controversy spotlights the limited but decisive role of the Senate parliamentarian in shaping legislation that bypasses the filibuster. - **Potential Fallout:** Any move to dismiss MacDonough would set a precedent for politicizing a traditionally nonpartisan office, potentially destabilizing Senate procedural norms.
