Definition of Filibuster. What is a filibuster? What is the definition of the term filibuster as it applies to politics? A filibuster occurs when a person (or persons) attempts to halt action on a particular bill by engaging in an excessively long speech or other delaying tactic. In the US Senate, rules permit a senator (or senators) to speak for as long as they want. However, three-fifths of Senators can vote to invoke cloture (under Senate Rule XXII), which brings the debate to a close. The longest filibuster in Senate history belongs to former South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond, who embarked on a 24 hour, 18 minute long filibuster in order to delay voting on the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
