Stop making things up. It takes 60 votes in the Senate.

It takes 60 votes in the Senate. The author is 100% right on this. If the Republicans wanted the wall, they would pass it through a reconciliation process that only needed 51 votes.
McConnell has held the line on requiring 60 votes because he doesn't even have 50 votes.

"Stop making things up. It takes 60 votes in the Senate."I am not positive, but I believe that the 60 vote thing was a Senate rule, changeable by majority Senate vote.
