FilibusterA filibuster is a tactic used in the U.S. Senate to delay or block legislative action by extending debate on the measure. Senators may speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless three-fifths of the Senate (usually 60 out of 100 senators) vote to bring the debate to a close through a procedure called "cloture."
