It is not legal for the Senate to require 60 votes to pass any bill.

Article 1 Section 3
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided.
This means that a simple majority is required for a bill to pass the Senate. And why is the VP not presiding over the Senate. That is his Constitutional job, to sit and listen to those intelligent jabberings. As Vice President of these United States he is the President of the Senate.
My previous thought was that the people elected to government were using these simple ignorances to circumvent the system. Now I just believe they have never read the Constitution.
