Anyone who takes time to read about the writers of the Constitution, quickly learns that everything contained therein was battled out until the exact wording wanted resulted. They clearly called for a simple majority vote pass all legislative issues except vetoes and treaties.

The filibuster rule is contrary to the Constitution. Get rid of it.

Voting on legislation still only requires a majority. The filibuster applies to a vote to end debate on a bill.
