This Senate Parliamentarian has to go!!!

Vance needs to override her BS.

The Senate Parliamentarian, in this case Elizabeth MacDonough, can be overruled by the Vice President of the United States, who serves as the President of the Senate. However, this action is rare and typically requires a significant political will, as it sets a precedent that can affect future parliamentary rulings.

In the context of the X post, the criticism centers around MacDonough's application of the Byrd Rule to potentially block certain provisions of a bill. If the Vice President, in their capacity as President of the Senate, disagrees with the Parliamentarian's ruling, they can overrule it. This was notably considered during discussions around the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021, where there was debate about overriding MacDonough's decisions regarding the inclusion of a minimum wage increase in the reconciliation bill.

However, overriding the Parliamentarian is not a common practice due to the potential for it to undermine the procedural integrity and impartiality of the Senate's operations. It requires a 3/5 majority vote to set a new precedent, which can be politically challenging. Therefore, while the Vice President has the authority, the practical and political implications often discourage such actions.
