Nomination - Cloture Not Invoked (Senate) (57-43) - June 22, 1995 (Key vote)
Title: Henry W. Foster Jr., Medical Director in the Regular Corps of the Public Health Service
Vote on a motion to invoke cloture on President William J. Clinton's nomination of Henry Foster, Jr. to be the new Surgeon 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.
Nomination - Introduced (Senate) - Feb. 28, 1995
