Calling shots in the Senate
The parliamentarian, who holds an obscure post interpreting Senate rules, stands to become the central figure in a healthcare vote.
Alan Frumin, a bookish fellow, was squirreled away at his desk in a windowless room of the U.S. Capitol this week, jacket off, eating his lunch. He is the chief parliamentarian for the United States Senate, a man you wouldn’t recognize in a job you’ve never heard of. But he could blow up President Obama’s whole healthcare bill.
