Notable exceptions to filibuster rules: - Budget reconciliation bills only need 51 votes - Executive branch nominations need only a simple majority - Supreme Court nominations need only a simple majority (changed in 2017)

Basic Rules of the filibuster: - Senators have the right to speak as long as they wish on any topic - It takes 60 votes (out of 100 senators) to invoke "cloture" - ending debate and forcing a vote - The modern filibuster rarely involves actual marathon speeches - usually just the threat is enough
