Howdy, iam Mildred Vargas, Buongiorno.
Well, here we go again! Another filibuster has been started in Congress, and it looks like it’s going to be a long one. It’s the same old story: one party wants something, the other doesn’t. So they’re at an impasse and it’s up to us to sit back and watch the show. Yikes! Let’s hope this doesn’t drag on too long - nobody likes a drawn-out battle of wills. Here’s hoping for a quick resolution so we can all get back to our lives!
Who Started The Filibuster? [Solved]
Well, it was a real doozy! In 1837, some Whig senators tried to pull a fast one and filibuster to stop Andrew Jackson’s buddies from wiping away a censure against him. Then, four years later in 1841, they really made their mark when they filibustered over a bill to create a national bank. Talk about making waves!
A filibuster is when a politician talks for a really long time in order to delay or prevent a vote on an issue. It’s like they’re stalling, y’know? They’ll just keep talking and talking until the other side gives up. It’s pretty sneaky, but it can be effective if you’ve got the stamina!
