Rule XXII
This action was the subject of a 1940 study by Franklin Burdette. Rule XXII (twenty two) offers one countermeasure to these and that rule was created after the failure of Woodrow Wilson's efforts to arm merchant ships. The use of this was preserved by the Gang of 14 and one way of getting rid of it is the "Nuclear Option." This can be stopped by a cloture vote. The longest one of these carried out by an individual in the U.S. was carried out by Strom Thurmond. Stopping one requires 60 senators. For 10 points, name this action in the U.S. Senate where a senator refuses to stop talking, thus preventing a vote on a bill.
