Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Filibustering is the tactic used by a senator to delay or impede a bill's passage by speaking on the floor for as long as physically possible. This tactic is often used to prevent a bill from gaining enough support to pass or force the opposing party to negotiate or compromise on key provisions of the bill. Gerrymandering refers to the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to favor one political party. Invoking cloture is the process by which a supermajority vote in the Senate (typically 60 votes) can end a filibuster and bring a bill to a vote. Senatorial privilege refers to the benefits granted to sitting senators, such as immunity from arrest while attending Senate sessions.
