Thune will do no such thing.  She provides him cover when she can.

Parliamentarians cannot obstruct anything. The are advisors only. They don't make decisions. Cowards can hide behind the advice given if they choose.

Which is what Thune has been doing. Let her take the heat while agreeing with everything she says!

Trump calls on Thune to fire Senate parliamentarian to pass SAVE America Act

The Hill
by Alexander Bolton
06/08/26



President Trump on Monday called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to “immediately fire” Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to clear the way for Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot.

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune should immediately fire the parliamentarian, who treats Republicans and everything they stand for horribly!” Trump posted on Truth Social, arguing that she’s an obstacle to enacting the SAVE America Act.

“Just the other night, as an example, she ruled against us on a proposal that would have easily been approved, and should have been, by anyone else,” Trump posted.

“We have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY. As long as she’s there, we will never get our desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, approved, and put into full force and effect!” Trump wrote.

The parliamentarian ruled that the SAVE America Act did not comply with the Senate’s Byrd Rule, which determines what legislation is eligible to be included in a budget reconciliation package that can pass with a simple-majority vote, thereby avoiding a filibuster and 60-vote threshold.

As a result, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) — two Trump allies — had to ask for 60 votes to waive the budgetary objections in order to consider their proposals to amend the budget reconciliation package with the SAVE America Act.

Both motions fell well short of sixty votes.

When Graham first offered a motion to suspend the budget rules, four Republicans voted “no”: Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).

Thune has repeatedly pushed back on Trump’s previous calls to fire the parliamentarian.

On this I agree 100% with Trump. Get rid of the filibuster before it's too late.
