Can a senator take a break during a filibuster?
Yes, a senator can take a break during a filibuster, but the rules and procedures surrounding filibusters can vary. In some cases, the senator may yield the floor temporarily to another senator who supports their cause. However, the senator cannot leave the chamber for an extended period of time as it could potentially end the filibuster.
What happens when the majority party cannot stop a filibuster?

Theoretically, this can continue indefinitely until the senate adjourns. Several filibusters have continued with a single senator speaking to an empty chamber, about unrelated subjects.
