The answer is: Representatives in the House may filibuster a bill.
This reflects a difference between the House and Senate because in the Senate, while debate is less restrained, filibusters can be used to delay or prevent a vote, whereas in the House, representatives do not have the same ability to filibuster. Instead, the House has stricter time limits for debate and often uses different procedures to manage debate and voting.
