6. Cloture is a procedural vote to overcome fillibuster

A single senator can filibuster a bill, and then it takes a cloture vote to end debate and move to amendments and voting. It takes 60 votes to end debate via cloture.

Cloture does not pass the bill.

A vote on each bill will now have to be done, along with any amendments, before it can be sent to the president.

But with 80 votes, it will absolutely pass. The only question is will any mods to Israeli arms or aid make it in. There is a push to cut out a un group infiltrated by hamas and put trip wires on military aid. We will see if any amendments make it.
