Question

In order to stall a vote on a particular bill, a senator speaks at the Senate for a prolonged period. This political tactic is known as __________. A. gerrymandering B. blustering C. filibustering D. distracting

Answer 1

Option C: FILIBUSTERING

Step-by-step explanation:

filibustering is simply an a formal and public act or way of preventing a bill to be voted on in the senate debate. It usually entails an active serving senator taking the floor for debate and talks as long as he can, for, as long as a senator has the floor, the bill in question cannot be voted on.

It is only used in the senate due to the fact that the senate does not share a time limit on how long the bill can be debated on.
