Limiting Senate Parliamentarian's Term to 6 Years

A Senate resolution proposes that the Senate Parliamentarian serve no more than one six-year term. This aims to prevent power entrenchment, promote accountability, and encourage fresh perspectives in advising the Senate on procedural matters. While not directly impacting citizens' daily lives, this change could influence the efficiency and transparency of legislative processes, which may indirectly affect future laws.
