US EditionSenate parliamentarian tosses some core Trump budget bill provisions
- On Thursday, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough determined that the Senate cannot eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's budget in the Trump administration's budget proposal.
- The ruling came because several key provisions from Sen. Tim Scott's committee violated reconciliation process rules, requiring core parts of the bill to be removed.
- The parliamentarian rejected attempts to reduce CFPB funding by $6.4 billion, eliminate a $1.4 billion decrease in Federal Reserve personnel salaries, and implement other substantial cuts to financial regulatory agencies.
- Sen. Jeff Merkley said these provisions must be stripped to comply with the Byrd Rule, and Sen. Tim Scott affirmed his commitment to cutting waste and working with the parliamentarian.
- Democrats vow to continue fighting the bill, emphasizing enforcement of Senate rules to block what they call an 'ugly bill' that risks consumer protections and benefits billionaires.
