Your absolutely right excepting that it should be a normal majority vote as intended by the constitution.
There is a difference in Legislative matters and the use of the filibuster. That's between the Senators themselves and they may apply their "own" filibuster rule. (There's usually some wheeling-dealing in the background).
But this matter is between the President and the Senators and they can't have their rules applied to a Presidential Power.
I do think this is a matter for the Supreme Court to decide.
