How does that work? Is a majority of Senators voting all that is required or does it take a majority of the full 100 Senators?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

There are 51 Republicans and 49 Dems/Independents, what if 2 Rinos abstained?

Then the vote could be:

50 R’s (VP Vote)
49 D’s
2 Abstains

That would constitute a simple majority IMHO.
