The only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter, and thereby overcome a [[filibuster]]. Under the cloture rule (Rule XXII), the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by vote of three-fifths of the full Senate, normally 60 votes.
