    No, that’s the ironic thing. The Filibuster is a Senate rule, and it only takes 50 Senators a simple majority to adopt a new rule.

    Yup, you heard that right. The Filibuster can be erased with a majority vote to set a new rule. The party in power doesn’t do that, though, because they are afraid of what the other side would do if they get the majority.
