More Info About this Vote
NOTE: INVOKING CLOTURE REQUIRES THE LESSER OF 26 SENATORS OR THREE-FIFTHS OF THE SENATORS PRESENT AND VOTING. IT IS NOT A VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT RATHER LIMITS FURTHER DEBATE. CLOTURE IS TYPICALLY USED TO END A FILIBUSTER. A FAILED CLOTURE VOTE OFTEN PREVENTS THE LEGISLATION FROM EVER COMING TO A VOTE.
