In the United States Senate, there needs to be 60 Senators who vote to end all discussion or debate about a given bill or issue and have it move to a floor vote. The United States House of Representatives do not allow filibusters, since each member has a time limit on how much they can speak (or stall) about a piece of legislation. Filibusters can occur in the Senate for as long as there is are no group of 60 Senators who vote to stop them.
