What is 'Cloture'?

Cloture is a method for ending debate on a proposal and holding an immediate vote even when some members wish to continue the debate. In the U.S. Senate, a three-fifths majority is usually required to invoke cloture, which translates to 60 votes if no vacant seats exist.

What is Unanimous 'Consent'?

Unanimous consent is a verbal agreement among every member of the Senate to consider a bill on the floor without formal debate or votes first. It is the primary vehicle for keeping business moving in the Senate. Any senator can object to unanimous consent and force lengthy roll calls that disrupt and delay the majority’s agenda. For example, in 2023, Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville (AL) blocked the Senate from confirming nearly 300 military personnel by declaring his intent to object to unanimous consent.
