A filibuster is a procedural tactic used in the U.S. Senate to delay or block legislative action, often by extending debate on a bill. It typically involves a senator speaking for an extended period or using other means to prevent a vote. The term is related to the broader concept of legislative obstruction, where a minority can impede the majority's agenda. The filibuster can be ended by a cloture vote, requiring a supermajority to limit debate and proceed to a vote.
