BeauA cloture can end debate on a topic in Congress and bring it to a vote. The House of Representatives has strict rules about how long members can debate a topic. The Senate, on the other hand, has no rules regarding filibuster and members can debate as long as they would like. To pass, cloture needs a three fifths vote in both houses of Congress.

A filibuster is broken when 60 senators vote to invoke cloture. This is why Democrats were so interested in seating 60 senators in this election--it is very difficult to persuade a senator of the opposing party to vote for cloture. A 60-seat majority is called a "filibuster-proof" majority because they can invoke cloture without asking any minority members for their votes.

Cloture already exists in the US Senate. It takes 60 Senators to invoke Cloture.
