Title: Nomination of Abigail Slater to be an Assistant Attorney General

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to invoke cloture on President Trump's nomination of Abigail Slater, of the District of Columbia, to be an Assistant Attorney General.

NOTE: INVOKING CLOTURE REQUIRES A 3/5 MAJORITY OF THE SENATE. IT IS NOT A VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT LIMITS FURTHER DEBATE TO 30 HOURS. CLOTURE IS TYPICALLY USED TO END A FILIBUSTER. A FAILED CLOTURE VOTE OFTEN PREVENTS THE LEGISLATION FROM EVER COMING TO A VOTE.
