The filibuster is not in the Constitution. It is strictly a tradition of the Senate.

There is nothing similar in the House and the country has nevertheless survived.

double question. 1. would this prevent the old school style of filibuster where they actually stand and talk? 2. Would we be against a filibuster change where you would actually be forced to filibuster?
