If a point of order cannot be overcome and is not ruled improper by the Senate Parliamentarian...

My understanding is that the Senate Parliamentarian's rulings are only advisory and that the presiding officer of the Senate is technically free to do what he or she pleases.

And what is the numerical limit on the number of times a "point of order" may be raised?

And that would be Mr. Plugs. Game. Over.

But all in all it still has to be voted on AS IS in the House. That may not happen.

And when you say 'he or she', you are describing VP Joe Biden. LOL
