What is a method of defeating a bill in which a senator talks until a majority either abandons the bill or agrees to modify it?
This tactic is known as a filibuster. It can only be used in the US Senate, not the House of the Representatives (because the House has rules that place limits on the length of debate). Also, if a vast majority of the Senate is in favor of the bill, they can defeat the filibuster with another tactic known as a cloture petition.
