Invoking the Cloture Rule. Page 344 in Magruder's AM book.
In the United States Senate, the rule used to stop a filibuster is called "cloture." With the approval of three-fifths of the sitting Senators, this rule sets a limit on how long the Senate can continue to debate a bill or other proposal before voting on it.
Filibuster is when a senator(s) speak about anything they want so that a bill cannot get pased. This can make it so that they cannot pass the bill because the senator has the floor and they can't vote on it, or people begin to get annoyed and vote 'no' just to get it over with. Cloture is when 3/5 of the senate votes to limit each senator to only 1 hour of debate whoch thus kills a filibuster and allows everyone to get a say and to be able to vote.
Cloture already exists in the US Senate. It takes 60 Senators to invoke Cloture.
