The Senate parliamentarian was never meant to be in the spotlight \u2014 let alone an office with political influence.<\/p>\n

But as Republicans lurch toward a habit of using the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation process to fund key government agencies, they are increasingly putting the fate of the party\u2019s biggest spending priorities in the hands of a nonpartisan Senate adviser.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the Parliamentarian, who treats Republicans, and everything that they stand for, horribly!\u201d President Donald Trump posted on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the Senate\u2019s latest reconciliation package, Republicans pushed to provide multiyear funding for immigration enforcement in place of annual appropriations \u2014 allowing them to bypass opposition from Democrats, who were demanding guardrails for ICE and Border Patrol.<\/p>\n

Even before they cleared that current package in the House, leadership already had its eyes on another one, teasing \u201creconciliation 3.0.\u201d<\/p>\n

That process has meant renewed attention on Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, whose role as the chamber\u2019s in-house rules referee requires her to offer guidance on what provisions in the bill satisfy what\u2019s known as the \u201cByrd rule.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, MacDonough advised that language providing $1 billion for Secret Service funding connected to a proposed White House ballroom would violate the Byrd rule, earning Trump\u2019s ire.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY!\u201d Trump continued in his Monday post, complaining about similar guidance on the GOP\u2019s signature voter ID proposal.<\/p>\n

In the House, it\u2019s made her something of a political target.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe House has passed bills, which means the majority of the American people have been represented properly. Then, they go over to the Senate, and an unelected bureaucrat decides that they won\u2019t be taken up by the Senate,\u201d said Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis., in an interview. \u201cShe needs to be fired.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., put his thoughts in simpler terms in a post: \u201cFIRE THE PARLIAMENTARIAN!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

MacDonough has held the parliamentarian position since 2012, when she was appointed by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. As the first female Senate parliamentarian, she has advised the chamber through critical moments over the past decade, including efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act as well as Trump\u2019s first and second impeachment trials.<\/p>\n

Majority leaders from both parties have replaced the parliamentarian in the past, although it hasn\u2019t happened since MacDonough was appointed. Starting in the 1980s, the position alternated between Robert Dove and Alan Frumin, although much of the changeover had to do with personal working relationships rather than partisanship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., defended MacDonough on Monday, arguing she\u2019s made decisions in favor of both Republicans and Democrats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parliamentarian rulings break both ways, and you know, we lose a few, we win a few,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very specific skill set, and you need somebody that is going to be a fair referee when it comes to this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parliamentarian\u2019s office declined to comment, saying it is their policy to not talk to the press.<\/p>\n

Abusing reconciliation?<\/h2>\n

While MacDonough takes the heat, experts say the Senate parliamentarian was never meant to be in this position in the first place.<\/p>\n

Michael Thorning, director of the structural democracy project at Bipartisan Policy Center, said the position is meant to be advisory in nature. MacDonough offers guidance on precedent and rules, and senators can ignore her advice.<\/p>\n

She is essentially a congressional staffer who, through little fault of her own, is becoming more visible as lawmakers seek to land more of their priorities through reconciliation bills, which don\u2019t need to clear the Senate\u2019s usual 60-vote threshold to advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of that comes with a misunderstanding about what the parliamentarian can and can\u2019t do,\u201d Thorning said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we have any reason to think that they are partisan or biased in that advice, but that\u2019s often not how it\u2019s portrayed or misinterpreted in the public sphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pressure on MacDonough will only get worse as Republicans look to pass more annual funding through the reconciliation process, which House appropriators caution against.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bad practice,\u201d said House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla. \u201cI\u2019m disappointed the Senate can\u2019t clean up its mess, and we\u2019ve been driven to this again. I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don\u2019t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have respect for the processes as they have historically been used, but I\u2019m worried about it,\u201d Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Mark Amodei, R-Nevada, said of reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Amodei said the package that cleared the House on Tuesday marks a \u201ctwo-off\u201d by congressional Republicans to use reconciliation for appropriations, when factoring in the 2025 reconciliation law that provided a $191 billion pot of extra funding for the Department of Homeland Security, including $75 billion for ICE.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. Kevin Kiley, a California independent who conferences with Republicans, said Tuesday he opposed the multiyear immigration enforcement package because it uses \u201ca strictly party-line process to provide funding in a way that has really not traditionally been done before\u201d \u2014 and what it means for nonpartisan guardrails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parliamentarian has traditionally been a nonpartisan official who calls balls and strikes, who provides guardrails for the process, whose work is informed by decades of precedent, and so when you turn her role into some sort of political hot potato, then I think it can only be corrosive,\u201d Kiley said.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, the process also tips the power balance toward the Senate and away from the House, Thorning said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the House is more and more willing to go along with doing appropriations with reconciliation, that means the House will be more constrained than it already is by the Senate\u2019s Byrd rule,\u201d Thorning said. \u201cIt\u2019s extending that into a whole other plane.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It especially takes power away from House appropriations cardinals, as subcommittee chairs are known, who take center stage in negotiating annual appropriations levels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf more and more appropriations are being done through reconciliation, eventually we\u2019ll just be asking, \u2018Well, why do we even have appropriations committees at all?\u2019\u201d said Thorning.<\/p>\n

A scapegoat<\/h2>\n

The rampant misunderstanding of the parliamentarian\u2019s role has a lot to do with how senators themselves present it, said James Wallner, a former Senate staffer and fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation.<\/p>\n

In the case of the Byrd rule, it can look from the outside like the parliamentarian \u201cis just deciding left and right what the members can do,\u201d Wallner said. In reality, the role has \u201cno real power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senators \u201cwill play a victim and blame the parliamentarian for not allowing them to do things that they ostensibly say they want to do,\u201d Wallner said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As senators on both sides of the aisle make fewer procedural decisions themselves and defer more to the parliamentarian, they\u2019re able to use the position as a \u201cscapegoat,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAdvice is merely advice,\u201d Wallner said. \u201cIf there\u2019s something in the bill and the parliamentarian says, \u2018This has to come out,\u2019 senators still have to take it out. \u2026 the parliamentarian has zero power to do any of those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the senators pretending to be victims, and by extension, Trump,\u201d he said. \u201cIn reality, they just don\u2019t want to vote for the ballroom.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each party has accused the other of such scapegoating tactics over the years. But if they want to, the majority can push through a reconciliation provision that would ordinarily violate the Byrd rule if the presiding officer ignores the parliamentarian and simply decides a provision does not violate the rules. Under the 1974 law that laid out the modern budget process, a successful appeal of the chair\u2019s ruling on a budget point of order requires 60 votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few senators have proposed imposing term limits on the parliamentarian to curb what Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., recently called \u201cunchecked power over major legislation.\u201d But they haven\u2019t seen action on a resolution introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., last year expressing the sense that parliamentarians shouldn\u2019t serve beyond one six-year term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the House side, some Republicans said they see through the Senate scapegoating \u2014 and had another suggestion of who was to blame if Trump can\u2019t get his wish on the White House ballroom or voter ID.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey give us advice and we can ignore it,\u201d Van Orden said. \u201cIt\u2019s the fault of the Senate, by and large.\u201d<\/p>\n
