WHY IT NEEDED 600 VACANT · 100 SWORN
60is three-fifths of the 100 senators sworn in. The Senate agreed before this vote that it would need 60 votes, not a simple majority.
- BY AGREEMENT
- Senators often agree, with no one objecting, to hold amendment and passage votes to 60 instead of first voting to end debate.
- VP
- The Vice President can break ties on simple-majority votes, not on 60-vote ones.
