About this vote
Cloture is the Senate's way of ending debate on a question, and it generally takes three-fifths of the Senate, or 60 votes. Here it applies to the motion to proceed, which asks the Senate to begin consideration of H.R. 240, a bill making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and for other purposes. A Yes vote is for ending debate on that motion.
