A filibuster is a legislative tactic used in the United States Senate to delay or block a vote on a bill or nomination by prolonging debate. Senators can engage in extended speeches or propose numerous amendments to extend the discussion indefinitely. While it serves as a tool for minority parties to exert influence, it requires a supermajority (typically 60 votes) to invoke cloture and end the filibuster, allowing a vote to proceed. This mechanism can lead to significant legislative gridlock if not managed effectively.

A term best described by this sentence from the recipe description: "Upon retirement, Buster finally shared the endurance secret of his serial dissertations at the podium: a generous breakfast slice of this nutritious, organic Spelt flour & flax seed bread, accompanied by a strong golden cheddar, quartered Red Bartlett and a rational stein of brown ale." Although an entertaining myth, Buster was reported to have voiced the world's first "sanitas cyclometricus" when concluding his final dissertation about the perennial attempts of true leaders to perform the impossible.
