1.) a filibuster to block a vote on a bill is possible
JulsSmile [24]
A filibuster is possible <span>only in the Senate, which is almost unrestrained.

The filibuster is a right to unlimited debate on an issue.  The tactic was used also in the House of Representatives until 1842, but since then the House has had rules in place for limiting duration of debate on an issue.

In the Senate, the rules allow one or more </span>senators to continue speaking for as long as they wish and about anything they wish, unless three-fifths of the senators (60 of the 100) invoke the cloture rule in order to bring floor debate to an end.  Filibusters are used as a method of delaying or blocking a measure from coming to a vote.  A famous example occurred in 1986 when Senator <span>Alfonse D’Amato spoke for nearly 24 hours straight, including some time spent simply reading names from the phone book.  He was using the filibuster to block a vote on a defense spending bill that would have defunded a trainer jet program in his home state (New York).</span>
