Is this a bit? I cannot stress this enough, per the SCOTUS Biden could legally take a bust of John Kennedy and beat the Parliamentarian to death on the floor of Congress.

I haven't read the article because it's CNN so I assume they never actually say something like "the Parliamentarian is elected for life and has an unbreakable veto", they just allude to it to make the reader draw that conclusion themselves.

I'm not American so the closest the civics-equivalent class came to this process is where, if the Senate fails to pass a House bill twice, the government can dissolve parliament and hold an election immediately. Then after an election, if the Senate still refuses to pass the same House bill, the government can essentially merge the upper and lower houses for a voting session to get stuff through.
