How do you end a debate on a bill in the Senate before everyone is ready to do so?

I believe you say:
"I have a motion to previous question"
The Presiding Officer might say:
"Is there a second?"
If someone seconds it then the process of voting begins where a 2/3 majority is needed in order to vote on the bill, and if it passes then you vote on the bill where majority rules.

How do you end debate on a bill in the Senate before everyone is ready to do so?
AnswerThe President of the Senate decides when debate ends.AnswerUnder most circumstances, debate is forced to end by cloture, meaning the Senate votes whether to end the debate. Cloture requires 60 votes (three-fifths of the Senate) to be successful, and is followed by an up or down vote on the issue being debated.If the other party is engaged in a filibuster (rather than simple debate), a two-thirds majority vote is required to end the filibuster.The President of the Senate (who is also the Vice-President of the United States) or, in his (or her) absence, the president pro tempore, may conclude the debate ifthose wishing to end discussion exercise the nuclear option-- and special circumstances apply. Under Senate Rule 22, if a Senator calls for a "point of order" that can be upheld on constitutional grounds, the presiding officer of the Senate decides whether the Constitution supports the Senator's reasoning calling for a vote. Otherwise, the presiding officer can uphold a point of order on procedural grounds, but the Senate can vote to override his (or her) decision.So, technically, the President of the Senate can only "end" the vote on constitutional grounds, but one of the Senators has to initiate the process and justify its use.[But don't worry; the latter scenario is uncommon.]

What is the 60-40-filibuster rule in the Senate?
A filibuster is an effective way to block a vote on any proposed legislation. It takes 60 votes to reach "cloture" - which means debate on a a particular bill is over and it's ready for a full vote on the Senate floor. Failure to reach cloture on a bill means it has been filibustered so negotiations with opposing Senators must take place to reach the magic number of 60 votes for cloture.
