[QUOTE="WhiskeyPapa, post: 2164361, member: 13770"] I'm not sure if it's just me, but I don't think many understand this process. Filibuster is simply unlimited debate. It is a tactic used by a Senator to keep a bill from going to vote. Something they used to do was stand up there and read names from a phone book! What Cloture does is stop that and forces a vote. A petition by 16 Senators is required for a vote of Cloture and 60 votes are required to pass it. After passage each Senator then has 1 hour each for debate THEN a vote must take place. In order for a Bill to become law it must pass both the House and Senate in IDENTICAL forms. If they do not they must go through the process all over again. [/QUOTE]
