Why can only the senate have a filibuster?
A filibuster can only happen on the United States Senate because it is the only function that does not have a time limit on speeches and debates concerning a proposal.
What is wrong with this scenario?
A bill to raise individual taxes is introduced into senate. The bill is given a number and assigned to the senate budget committee for consideration.The bill is recommended for passage and is debated by the full senate. The senate votes unanimously to pass the bill with no amendments, and bill is sent to the house of representatives.
Who acts in the absence of the president of the senate?
The President of the Senate is the Vice President and he has the special power of being allowed to vote to break a tie. Most of the time, it does not matter who presides over the Senate. There are rules for whose turn it is to speak and nobody in the Senate listens anyway .( Speeches are made for the benefit of the Senate record and for those who watch C-Span.) When a tie vote seems likely, the VP will be there to preside.
What role do presidents play when they help someone campaign for a Senate seat?
