How Senate Bills are Schedualed
The process of a Bill within the Senate is usually as so:
- Introduction - The bill is introduced and the floor is open for debate
- Filibuster - Senators are allowed to filibuster to prolong the debate in their favor and to speed up a consensus on the bill
- Restraint and Delay - while a senator is using a filibuster the bill must be delayed any further until there is a majority vote in favor of the bill
