Is seconded a word?
Yes. Most commonly this word arises in describing a formal meeting where a motion has been made. For a motion to be formally considered, another individual must express support for its consideration. This is done by saying, "I second that motion." Once that stage has occurred, the motion is described as seconded. For example, "Ms. Wilson has seconded the motion to adjourn which must be voted on immediately in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order." The word less commonly is encountered when discussing the ranking of things. If an item is put in second place, it may be said to have been "seconded." In that case it can also be an adjective, "The seconded item was taken off of the winner's pedestal." There are other variations of usage, but most are related to these two examples.

Can a motion passed and seconded be added after the meeting closed?

What is the difference between a filibuster and closure in the senate?
A filibuster is a delay tactic to prevent a motion (e.g., a motion on a legislative bill) from being voted on by the member of the assembly in which the motion is being considered. Fillibusters extend debate on the motion to obstruct its passage. Cloture is an action that ends debate so that the assembled body may vote on the motion. Therefore, cloture can end a filibuster so that the motion may be put to the floor for a vote. In the U.S. Senate, for example, cloture can be achieved with a 3/5 vote (i.e., 60 of 100 Senators).
