The same document states that a simple majoroty will determine Presidential appointments.

Actually, it reads:

[the President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for

Article II, section 2, clause 2

The US Constitution doesn't explicitly state that a simple majority is required, but a simple majority is traditionally used by parliamentary procedure if a supermajority is not specifically required.

Well, I don't have my copy of the Constitution at hand and youonly quoted a section of the article.

I'll have to check out the entire passsage tomorrow nd I'm sure there is something in there about a simple majority.
