The Senate official said the GOP bill needs to be reworked to comply with jurisdictional issues.

A GOP bill seeking $1 billion for the Secret Service to help finance Donald Trump’s White House ballroom is in jeopardy as it faces pushback from a top Senate official.

The Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, said Saturday that the budget bill, which aims to fund ICE and Border Patrol alongside $1 billion to help fund the ballroom, needs to be rewritten to account for jurisdictional issues.

The parliamentarian wrote that the bill would be subject to a 60-vote threshold to pass, meaning it can’t move forward with a simple majority, unlike similar bills advanced using budget reconciliation.

      Ya but he doubled the size after the press shooting. And that money is just for the room. The bunker underneath is what we’re paying for. It has to be big enough to park the $1.7B airplane we also paid for. Remember NSG. NEVER, STOP, GRIFTING.

    I remember somewhere that said there is to be a hospital in the new wing for the purple handed pedo president. Only saw one mention so not sure if this is true but it would explain the budget hike

      I believe that’s something that the White House has said, to lend more credence to its supposed importance
