Trump urges Senate GOP to overrule parliamentarian
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans to overrule the chamber's parliamentarian to pass key provisions of his domestic policy bill.
- That move followed Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough's ruling blocking key Medicaid provisions in Trump's bill, prompting hardline conservatives to demand a floor challenge.
- According to procedural guidelines, overturning the parliamentarian requires a presiding senator to issue a contradictory ruling backed by at least 51 votes, enabling disputed provisions to proceed.
- In response, Senate Republicans advanced the bill Saturday after adjustments, aiming to finalize before the July 4 deadline.
- Ultimately, Schumer warned that overruling the nonpartisan Senate official could set a new legislative precedent, challenging Senate norms and future procedural integrity.
