[Congressman Billybob]

The Byrd Rule is not self-enforcing. Under Roberts Rules, which Congress uses, the Parliamentarian only advises the Chair. The Chair rhen issues his/her decision. There are a few examples in the past of the Chair reversing the opinion of the Parliamentarian.

I have served as Parliamentarian of a national political convention. This is how the Byrd Rule or any other operating rule, is carried out. You are correct that Biden should not reverse such an opinion. And a majority of the Senators would be dead wrong to uphold such a breach of duty.

My article begins after both of those failures have occurred. It answers the question whether there is any court remedy, when all else fails — House, Senate and President.
