It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The parliamentarian just provides advice on the consistency of procedures - they can just make amend the procedures.
Actually, the Parliamentarian has a veto in Congress, you just fell asleep in civics class:

Is this a bit? I cannot stress this enough, per the SCOTUS Biden could legally take a bust of John Kennedy and beat the Parliamentarian to death on the floor of Congress. The Parliamentarian can also be easily replaced if they won't play ball, which as been done before. Or congress could just ignore them.
Lol
Also, lol
It would have been nice if Sanders had died at some narratively significant moment when we still believed in him.
It's a bit about how the Democrats constantly invent new and exciting reasons to explain why they can't do anything useful.
Cool cool. Thank you for letting me know.
It's such a beautifully fine-tuned machine. Almost makes me weep.
I can't tell if this is a sarcastic bit or not?
I haven't read the article because it's CNN so I assume they never actually say something like "the Parliamentarian is elected for life and has an unbreakable veto", they just allude to it to make the reader draw that conclusion themselves.
If it's not a bit I can dig up some more info on the role of the Parliamentarian.
I'm not American so the closest the civics-equivalent class came to this process is where, if the Senate fails to pass a House bill twice, the government can dissolve parliament and hold an election immediately. Then after an election, if the Senate still refuses to pass the same House bill, the government can essentially merge the upper and lower houses for a voting session to get stuff through.
