The U.S. Senate should switch to 51 votes, immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy. Dems would do it, no doubt!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 30, 2017

Congressional Republicans have already shown they are not going to allow established rules and long-followed procedural precedents to get in the way of enacting their agenda.

From the Senate adopting the nuclear option to confirm Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court to the House's moving ahead with a vote on the American Health Care Act without waiting for the Congressional Budget Office's official score, it's obvious that, for Republicans, how it's been done in the past is irrelevant.

The same is true of the Trump White House, with the president strongly suggesting on May 30th in one of his rant-like tweets that Senate Republicans should eliminate the filibuster altogether so, unlike other presidents, he won't have to jump through as many procedural hoops or comply with as many legal requirements to get his agenda adopted.
