He urged the GOP to eliminate the filibuster and to replace Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, claiming she has been harsh on Republicans but more permissive toward Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The article explains that the parliamentarian plays a key role in deciding whether particular legislation can pass with a simple majority through budget reconciliation or must meet the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster. It cites MacDonough\u2019s prior rulings that affected Republican efforts-such as blocking certain immigration-related Medicaid\/Medicare provisions-and notes reporting that she also rejected using budget reconciliation for $1 billion in security funding related to the White House ballroom.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s post ultimately argues that Republicans must \u201ckill\u201d the filibuster quickly, warning Democrats would do so if given the chance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump accused Senate Republicans on Wednesday of playing \u201csoft\u201d and warned that time is running out for changes in the upper chamber of Congress to stave off a Democratic power grab.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Trump demanded the GOP majority eliminate the filibuster that\u2019s keeping the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/democrats-already-standby-sue-save-america-act-becomes-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAVE America Act<\/a> from passing, and replace the body\u2019s parliamentarian \u2014 a key post that makes decisions about rules of procedure.<\/p>\n<p>And his language was characteristically blunt when it came to Parliamentarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/senate-parliamentarian-helps-dems-keep-medicaid-illegal-aliens-thwarts-big-beautiful-bill-provision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elizabeth MacDonough<\/a>, who has held the job since the first Obama administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShockingly, Republicans have kept the very important position of \u2018Parliamentarian\u2019 in the hands of a woman, Elizabeth MacDonough, who was appointed, long ago, by Barack Hussein Obama and a vicious Lunatic known as Senator Harry Reid, who ran the Senate for the Dumocrats with an \u2018iron fist,&#8217;\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the years, she has been brutal to Republicans, but not so to the Dumocrats \u2014 So why has she not been replaced?
