As a practical matter, some might argue, if a filibuster is threatened and it takes 60 votes to end debate in the Senate, then it does take 60 votes to pass a bill. Nothing in the Constitution says that a three-fifths majority is necessary to pass ordinary legislation.
A simple majority ( more than half) of those voting in each house is needed to pass a bill. In the Senate the vice-president has the option of breaking a tie, so 50-50 vote â¦ from the Senators might pass it. The House has an odd number of voters so a tie is less likely, but a tie vote would defeat a bill.
