John Hoeven<\/strong> (R-N.D.) revealed that Republicans are grinding away on weekends to get the election security package over the line.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We&#8217;re in session this week, and we&#8217;re working on it,&#8217; he told Newsmax&#8217;s Saturday programme. &#8216;The key is that we get that passed. We can do that with 51 votes, which is why we&#8217;re working so hard to do it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>The Filibuster Problem<\/h2>\n<p>Democrats have repeatedly blocked the legislation through normal procedures, forcing Republicans to use the budget reconciliation trick instead.<\/p>\n<p>This procedural shortcut allows a simple majority-or 50 votes plus <strong>Vice President Vance&#8217;s tie-breaker<\/strong>-to push bills through without hitting the usual 60-vote threshold.<\/p>\n<h2>The Parliamentarian Stumbling Block<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough<\/strong> previously ruled that core provisions violated reconciliation rules, infuriating President Trump, who demanded her removal.<\/p>\n<p>But Hoeven insisted the revised version will sidestep those concerns entirely. &#8216;We are putting it together in a way where, with 51 votes, we can do it so that it would not be subject to a rule or to being stopped by the parliamentarian,&#8217; he explained.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Senate committees are now overhauling the bill to ensure it clears the reconciliation hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>If successful, the measure bounces back to the House for a final rubber-stamp before heading to Trump&#8217;s desk.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: CelebBNews.info<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican senators are racing to pass President Trump&#8217;s flagship election security bill, with Vice President JD Vance potentially needed to break a tie in the chamber.
