SAVE ACT: Trump's voter ID bill hits 50 Senate votes for the first time during late-night vote-a-rama, but the filibuster blocks it from reaching the president's desk. Sen. Mike Lee says VP Vance could serve as the 51st vote to push it through — if Republican leadership forces a talking filibuster. Three GOP senators still voted against the modified version, exposing a rift Trump is now exploiting to demand the Senate parliamentarian be fired.
@TheCalvinCooli1@SenThomTillis is the worse of the worst! Nothing Republican or conservative about this man. He’s awful and isn’t representing his constituents. He’s all about himself and his vendetta against President Trump and his supporters. Tillis can’t go soon enough.
NEVER FORGET.... The very last thing Mitch McConnell did in his administrative duty as Senate Majority Leader was to appoint Susan Collins as head of appropriations committee. This was strategic UniParty positioning.
TRAITORS 🚨
What kind of Majority leader works with the Senate Parliamentarian to block Trumps agenda
Elizabeth Macdonough is a card carrying member of the administrative Deep State appointed by Harry Reid
The 2nd longest serving Parliamentarian in history
REMOVE THEM BOTH
This is Elizabeth MacDonough; she was appointed as Senate Parliamentarian in 2012.
She's supposed only to make suggestions... meaning the Senate d/n have to cut the things she takes out of proposed legislation.
But in reality, it's exceedingly rare that the Senate doesn't accept all of her "suggestions" - which essentially makes them her decisions, made unilaterally.
This is a tremendously powerful position, as we've now seen multiple times when she's, in effect, overruled the President and his agenda (the one America voted for).
Yet she's not only unaccountable to the American people through the ballot box, but also to the Constitution, which neither mentions nor requires a Parliamentarian.
Trump is talking about Elizabeth MacDonough, the current (and longtime) Parliamentarian of the United States Senate
She needs to be fired to help pass the Save America Act!
Rep. Veronica Escobar claims that President Trump was "found guilty of r@pe by a jury of his peers."
That is not even remotely true and the last person who claimed that on cable news had to pay him a $15M settlement.
The Senate functioned perfectly fine for 146 years without a Parliamentarian.
The office wasn’t created by the Constitution. It wasn’t created by federal statute. Democrats created it in 1935 because they needed help sifting through thousands of archaic Senate rules and precedents that they could use to massively expand the federal government with New Deal legislation.
There is zero mention of a Senate Parliamentarian anywhere in the Constitution.
There is no law requiring the office to exist.
The Parliamentarian has no independent authority. It is not a statutory office. The role is purely advisory. The Senate can ignore the advice, or abolish the office entirely in a second.
There is nothing sacred about the position. It was a political tool created by Democrats to further FDR’s agenda.
Cucked Republicans have unnecessarily kept the illegitimate office alive to help Democrats.
Scott Presler just brought it up: the Senate Parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Majority Leader and can be dismissed at ANY moment, no Senate vote required.
Thune has the sole authority to fire and replace Elizabeth MacDonough today.
So why doesn't he?
She’s been a consistent roadblock to the Trump agenda and the will of the voters.
If the leader won’t use the power he has, maybe it’s time we find new leadership who will.
Fire her.
Pass the agenda.
No more hiding behind the parliamentarian.
🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump calls on John Thune to FIRE the Senate Parliamentarian, who is doing her best to BLOCK the administration’s initiatives in Congress
Grow a spine, Thune! We’re running out of time!
“She was put there by then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama, need I say more?”
BOOM 💥
Reach around and give yourselves a big pat on the back... Trump heard you, he's getting involved
He's calling for the immediate firing of Elizabeth Macdonough, the Senate Parliamentarian, who required key parts of the Save America Act need (60) votes
FIRE HER NOW 🚨
@LeaderJohnThune Did you know that the parliamentarian can be dismissed at ANY moment?
The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader.
Thune has the sole authority to remove AND replace the parliamentarian w/o a vote from the Senate.
Fire Elizabeth MacDonough!
