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 three-fifths version of the cloture rule does not apply to motions to end filibusters relating to Senate Rule changes. To invoke cloture to end debate over changing the Senate rules, the original version of the rule (two-thirds of those Senators present and voting) still applies. The procedure for invoking cloture, or ending a filibuster, is as follows: A minimum of 16 senators must sign a petition for cloture. The petition may be presented by interrupting another Senator's speech. The clerk reads the petition. The cloture petition is ignored for one full day during which the Senate is sitting (called a Legislative Day).
