cloture
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.
No one in the White House can limit the amount of time to debate a bill. The rules governing it are specific to the House and Senate, which are not part of the Executive Branch like the President (who lives in the White House).

Cloture is a parliamentary procedure used in the U.S. Senate to end a filibuster and bring a debate to a vote. Senators can invoke cloture by voting to limit further debate on a particular bill or nomination, requiring a three-fifths majority (60 votes) for approval. Once cloture is successfully invoked, debate is limited and a vote must take place within a set period of time.
The Senate does not have a time limit. The only real time limit for the Senate is that they have to vote on the bill before that Congressional session ends. If the session ends before the bill is sent to the President's desk, for any reason whatsoever (no matter how trivial the reason is), then the bill "dies," and they have to start all over the next January (when the next session begins). This often leads to abuse, which is called a "filibuster," where one Senator who opposes a bill will attempt to just talk endlessly until the bill is withdrawn, or the session ends. To combat a filibuster, 3/5 of the Senate (currently, sixty Senators) can invoke a "cloture," which limits a bill to one hour of debate. This is the only time the Senate has a time limit other than the Congressional session.
