President Donald Trump on Wednesday again urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, whom he has said is blocking Republican legislative priorities.

The parliamentarian is a procedural advisor whose role includes keeping the legislative process compliant with the chamber's own rules. MacDonough has repeatedly disallowed the chamber to approve key legislative priorities for Republicans through the reconciliation process, which is limited to budgetary issues.

"How the Republican Senate is not firing the Parliamentarian, who was appointed by Radical Left Senator Harry Reid, and Barack Hussein Obama, is beyond me!" Trump posted on Truth Social. "She has been ruling unfairly against Republicans for years, and Majority Leader John Thune has the right to do it, immediately. FIRE THE PARLIAMENTARIAN NOW!"

Thune has refused to fire MacDonough, to Trump's consternation. Driving most of the push is a desire from the White House to pass the SAVE America Act, a marquis voter ID bill that has languished in the upper chamber due to the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Despite considerable pressure, Thune has been unwilling to alter Senate rules to pass the bill, leading to public tensions with Trump and some of the more conservative senators.
