The goal of the filibuster is to delay or prevent a vote on the proposal. Senators can speak for as long as they would like on any topic unless three-fifths of the Senators vote to end the debate. Despite historical lore, the filibuster was not established in the Constitution; it was created by mistake. In 1805, Vice President Aaron Burr presided over the Senate and suggested the removal of the rule that allowed a simple majority to cut off debate. They took Burr’s advice and without a way to stop the discussion on a piece of legislation, the filibuster became possible. Since then, the filibuster, the so-called “Soul of the Senate”, has become a political tool that plagues the legislative process on both sides of the aisle.\n
