I'd guess simple....the constitution specifies only a few votes to be decided by 2/3.

2/3'rds is needed because of the speeded up vote. When a vote and debate is requested like this one, 2/3rds of those present must vote FOR the bill for it to pass..
It will pass.. the numbers are already past the 2/3's point and going up. Since the Senate has already passed the bill.. within minutes, the bill will be in the White House and I suspect will be signed in about 30 minutes from now.
