It is not in order, except by unanimous consent, to invoke cloture on a bill before the. Senate has agreed to consider it. On the other hand, there is no limit on the number of times that. the Senate can vote on motions to invoke cloture on a bill, amendment, or other matter it is. considering.
The cloture rule thereby prevents lawmakers from merely stalling for another hour by, say, reciting the Declaration of Independence or reading names from a phone book. Cloture Majority The majority needed to invoke cloture in the Senate remained two-thirds, or 67 votes, of the 100-member body from the rule's adoption in 1917 until 1975, when the number of votes needed was reduced to just 60.
