Republicans are debating a strategy for passing Trump's agenda, with a preference for a single bill to cover various policies.
Legislation is likely to utilize budget reconciliation, allowing passage with a simple majority due to a lack of Democratic support.
The Byrd Rule complicates matters, as the Senate parliamentarian has significant power over what can be included in reconciliation bills.
Ignoring the parliamentarian's recommendations could bring political backlash, even if overruling precedents has occurred in the past.
Experts suggest that Republicans might use the parliamentarian as a scapegoat for legislative failures, distancing themselves from controversial votes.
