U.S. Senate · March 14, 2025
Roll call 128 · 119th Congress, session 1
H.R. 1968 — Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025
A vote to end debate and allow a final vote In the Senate, debate can continue indefinitely unless 60 senators vote to end it. This vote is that attempt. It decides whether the Senate may vote on the thing at all — not whether the thing passes. A failed cloture vote usually ends the matter without anyone ever voting on its merits.
Cloture Motion Agreed to
