Republicans do not have a majority in the Senate; however, they can stop an appointment by President Obama by filibuster.
The filibuster only exists in the senate. There is no such thing in the House of Representatives. However, in the senate 60 signatures are required to reach cloture on an issue and stop a filibuster
...A Filibuster?
a filibuster occurs in the senate
Senate
A filibuster
The term is filibuster.
Filibuster the bill, also known as "killing" or "talking (a bill) to death."
From wikipedia: "Sections 2 and 3 of Rule VII (Morning Business) of the Standing Rules of the Senate outline the procedure for bringing motions to the floor of the Senate. Under these rules, "no motion to proceed to the consideration of any bill...shall be entertained...unless by unanimous consent". " Therefore a senator can place a hold on the debate of a bill which means the bill cannot be voted on until after a debate. In order to stop a filibuster or a hold the senate needs 16 senators to request "cloture" which requires a positive vote from 3/5ths of the senators. Unfortunately, a cloture vote takes two business days to occur.
it can only take place in the senate since theirs a small amount of senates
