Who decides how long a bill will be debated in senate?

In the U.S. Senate, the length of debate on a bill is primarily determined by unanimous consent agreements. If no agreement is reached, the Senate operates under its rules, which allow for extended debate unless a cloture motion is invoked to limit discussion. A cloture motion requires a minimum of 60 votes to pass, effectively ending debate and moving the bill to a vote. The Majority Leader often plays a key role in negotiating the terms of the debate.

How can a member of the senate delay the vote on a bill?

Senators are allowed to speak for or against a bill and a vote can not be taken until the everyone has had a reasonable opportunity to speak. However, there is a tactic known as the filibuster in which a senator or a group of Senators speak for no purpose except to delay a vote on the bill. The Senate can vote to end debate but this action currently required a 60% majority , so unless 60% of the senators want to end debate and get a vote, the debate can go on until the bill is withdrawn without a vote and the bill dies .
