No matter what happens next month, Republicans stand ready to push for the removal of major pieces of the legislation.
Manchin tends to get all of the credit — or take all of the blame, depending on who's speaking — for threatening popular provisions of his party's bill, like an extension of the expanded child tax credit. But the parliamentarian’s office is arguably a bigger hurdle for several of the social spending measure's biggest centerpieces.
It's that latter requirement that's meant multiple rounds of bad news for Democrats’ ambitions on immigration reform. Despite repeated revisions crafted in an attempt to satisfy the chamber's arcane budgetary rules, the parliamentarian nixed two earlier bids before her latest quashing of House-passed immigration language that would extend work permits and provide temporary deportation protection for certain undocumented people who came to the U.S. before 2011.
Sen. John Neely Kennedy said this month that the parliamentarian’s feedback during the GOP's anti-Obamacare push was illuminating for lawmakers in both parties as they tried to gauge the limitations of budget rules.
