filibuster: How Senate GOP Bypasses Rules to Pass Trump’s Agenda #politics

Senate Republicans are exploring new tactics to pass President Trump’s agenda, including bypassing Senate rules and expert rulings. These moves could reshape legislative norms and raise concerns about undermining Senate protocols. The fight over procedural power heats up.
-------------------
Overview:
• Senate Republicans are strategizing to pass President Trump’s comprehensive agenda by converting the House’s large bill into a form that can navigate Senate rules and avoid a Democrat filibuster using procedural maneuvers.
• Senate Majority Leader John Thune has devised a tactic to bypass the Senate parliamentarian’s rulings, particularly on issues like California’s electric vehicle standards, by securing a majority vote to override expert interpretations of Senate rules.
• The process involves leveraging the budget reconciliation mechanism, which allows certain bills to be expedited, but is limited by the Byrd rule that restricts content to federal spending, creating additional procedural hurdles.
• Thune’s recent move to challenge the authority of the parliamentarian on rules such as the Congressional Review Act opens the possibility for broader GOP manipulation of legislative procedures, raising concerns about undermining established Senate protocols.
• Critics argue that such tactics threaten to erode Senate norms and could set a precedent for bypassing expert guidance, allowing Republicans to insert non-spending provisions into major legislation and potentially weaken the integrity of legislative process norms.
