How long does a filibuster have to be to force a super-majority in the Senate?
A filibuster does not have a specific duration; rather, it is a tactic used to prolong debate and delay or block a vote on legislation. In the Senate, a filibuster can effectively require a supermajority of 60 votes to end debate and proceed to a vote, regardless of how long the debate continues. Typically, senators may engage in extended speech or procedural maneuvers to maintain the filibuster until a sufficient number of votes can be secured to overcome it.
