    That is the beautiful thing about units of measure, they can be converted. It would , however, be easier if the States got on board with the rest of the world.

    Senate

    Main article: Filibuster in the U.S. Senate
    In the United States Senate, rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn"[25] (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII.


    End quote.


    From WIKI, actually not bad.. But basically you stand there and talk the bill to death, by extending it past a deadline. Unless a quorum can be reached to seat you. Senators have been known to go for days, and team up, to kill bills. The late Sen Byrd was a master of this, known to go for DAYS by himself. Done right, it can even extend the business hours of the Senate, forcing the leadership of both sides to hang around. It is effective.
