The rules haven't changed in a few decades, but the customs have. In both houses of Congress, you still need a majority (50%+1) to pass a bill. In the House of Representatives, that's the only consideration. In the Senate, the rules are a bit more complex. If the bill makes it to a vote, it needs only 51 votes. But you need to debate before it gets to a vote.
Technically, the party only needs 60 votes for cloture -- to bring all debate, including filibusters, to an end. At that point, only 51 votes are needed to actually pass the legislation. There isn't any need for reconciliation, Jane Hamsher of the liberal group FireDogLake told the Hotsheet.
