What is the cloture rule (also known as Rule 22)?

Through Rule 22, the cloture vote, 41 senators decide which measures the Senate will consider. Cloture is a vote to end a filibuster that requires 60 votes under Senate rules. Without ever coming to the floor, any senator can request a cloture vote. Cloture (Rule 22) is the only official method provided by Senate rules for interrupting a filibuster. A filibuster is an attempt to stall or postpone Senate action on a bill or other issue. Cloture allows the Senate to limit consideration of a pending topic to 30 hours of debate.
