The role of the Senate Parliamentarian is advisory. It takes 60 Senators to support an objection raised by the Parliamentarian to overrule the VP. Biden can basically craft the Bills he wants - including the budget lines that need to be reconciled with the House version of a Bill, the Committee that returns a reconciled Bill, and the time frame for reporting back the amended Senate Bill.

It's up to the White House on this.
