A filibuster is a tactic used in the U.S. Senate to delay or block a vote on a measure by preventing debate on it from ending. [1] The Senate's rules place few restrictions on debate; in general, if no other senator is speaking, a senator who seeks recognition is entitled to speak for as long as they wish. [2]
What is the history of the filibuster?Originally an obscure political gesture accidentally created in 1806, the filibuster began to be used more in the 19th-century American legislation to stall debate for laws related to key issues like the abolition of slavery. In 1917, the Senate enacted the cloture rule, which allows 2/3 of the Senate to end a debate on a specific topic.
What is a filibuster in the US Senate?According to the Senate website – which has its own glossary – a filibuster is this: “Informal term for any attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter by debating it at length, by offering numerous procedural motions, or by any other delaying or obstructive actions.”
