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.
Therefore, supporters of a nominee may have to use the cloture process to reach a vote on the nominee. For nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court, invoking cloture requires the support of three-fifths of the Senate; for other nominees, the cloture vote is subject to a simple majority threshold. Regardless of the relevant vote threshold, using cloture to reach a vote on a pending nomination may take significant floor time.
