The filibuster is among the Senate’s “most distinctive procedural features,” according to the Congressional Research Service. Many believe that this political procedure has been a part of American democracy since day one. In fact, it emerged in 1806 when the Senate at the advice of Vice President Aaron Burr got rid of the previous question motion, a provision that allowed a simple majority to cut off debate and force a vote. The term, filibuster, became popular in the 1850s as a way to ensure debate over legislation in the Senate. It is a practice any lawmaker can take to slow down or block a bill from getting a vote on the Senate floor. Historically, senators would have to launch a talkathon on the chamber floor, which could theoretically last forever, to prevent voting on a bill.
