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.
Since the Democrats took back the Senate after the 2006 elections, it has become almost a matter of course that a bill opposed by most of the minority party will have to overcome a filibuster in order to pass. But that doesnât mean that a bill needs 60 votes to be approved; it means 41 senators can keep a bill from being voted on.
