“A Senate Republican wants to see the Senate parliamentarian fired and plans to introduce a resolution that would require the position to be term-limited. Fury erupted among conservatives Thursday morning following the news that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough ruled several key reforms and tweaks to Medicaid in the Senate GOP’s version of President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ did not pass muster with Senate rules. That means that the current provisions that do not comply with the Byrd Rule must be stripped, but Republicans can still scramble to rewrite and resubmit the policy to the parliamentarian. However, Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., wants immediate action taken against the parliamentarian. ‘In 2001, Majority Leader Trent Lott fired the Senate parliamentarian during reconciliation,’ Marshall told Fox News Digital. ‘It’s 2025 during reconciliation, and we need to again fire the Senate parliamentarian.'” (06/26/25)
