How do you hold the ground in congress?
I think the term you are asking is how to "hold the floor" in the house of representatives. You are granted time by the speaker, once that occurs, you "have the floor". You can hold it for additional time if members will yield to you and offer their time for you to use. Carrying this procedure out to an extreme is called "filibustering" where a member will attempt to "hold the floor" until such time as support can be garnered for his "cause", or causes such time to expire, in that a statute or vote is missed, achieving the desired affect by the filibustering member or member's.
