WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined U.S. Senators Roger Marshall (R-KS) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in introducing a resolution imposing 6-year term limits on the Senate Parliamentarian, a key figure in the United States Senate who advises on rules, procedures, and precedents as it relates to Senate procedure. On Thursday, Senator Tuberville called for the Parliamentarian to be fired for willfully attempting to undermine the will of 77 million Americans who voted for President Trump and his agenda.
“The woke, Radical Left Senate Parliamentarian, who was appointed by Harry Reid and was an advisor to Al Gore, is actively trying to undermine President Trump’s agenda,” said Senator Tuberville. “Unelected bureaucrats should not be able to overturn the will of the 77 million Americans who voted for President Trump and his agenda. This is exactly why Americans hate the swamp. Proud to join my friend Senator Roger Marshall in introducing this resolution imposing 6-year term limits for the Senate Parliamentarian.”
