Cruz suggests ignoring Senate parliamentarian for ObamaCare repeal
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is suggesting that the GOP could ignore interpretations of the Senate parliamentarian if it means sending a full repeal of ObamaCare to the president’s desk.
“At the end of the day, the Senate parliamentarian is an employee of the Senate. Virtually every Republican campaigned promising full repeal,”
.. While the parliamentarian’s role is strictly advisory, Senate leaders rarely ignore his or her advice.
