Opinion | Why Trump is desperate to get rid of the Senate parliamentarian
Trump wants Elizabeth MacDonough, the longtime Senate parliamentarian, gone. But she’s sticking around and there’s not much he can do about it.
There are few things President Donald Trump hates to hear more than “no.” So imagine his outrage when he learned that Senate Republicans’ long-awaited budget bill would no longer include money for his White House ballroom project. The $1 billion in Secret Service funding, including $200 million specifically for the ballroom, had to be removed after a ruling that it failed to comply with Senate rules.
The ruling on the funding didn’t come from Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., or any other elected member of Congress. It came from Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate parliamentarian. Trump has demanded that Thune fire MacDonough for standing in his way — but her job isn’t at risk. For the moment, at least, MacDonough may be the most powerful bureaucrat in Washington that Trump can’t touch.

Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner say the federal government should spend taxpayer money on programs to help taxpayers.
After repeatedly promising that no public funds would be spent on President Donald Trump’s planned White House ballroom project, the Trump administration has encouraged Congress to appropriate $1 billion for “for the purposes of security adjustments and upgrades, including within the perimeter fence of the White House Compound to support enhancements by the United States Secret Service relating to the East Wing Modernization Project, including above-ground and below-ground security features.” Virginia’s U.S. senators say they would rather use that money to help Virginians.
