Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Three-fifths of the Senate can vote to invoke cloture to end a filibuster even if the Senator who is filibustering (or group of Senators who are filibustering) still hold(s) the floor. A cloture petition (signed by at least 16 Senators) is ignored for a full day following the day on which it is introduced. Then, it receives a vote during which three-fifths of the Senators (60 Senators) must vote in favor of cloture. It the motion is carried, the filibuster is given 30 hours to resolve and every speaker is only allowed to speak for one hour. At the end of the 30-hour limit (or when the Senators yield the floor to a vote), the legislation that was under debate must receive a vote before the Senate can proceed to debating or voting on the next act of legislation.
