Trump Calls to Abolish 60-Vote Rule in Senate

US President Donald Trump called for the abolition of a rule in the Senate that requires a 60-vote supermajority to pass legislation. This rule often hinders the swift enactment of laws. Trump believes it creates unnecessary obstacles and slows down the government's work. He proposed replacing it with a simple majority of 51 votes, which would simplify the decision-making process. However, opponents of this idea argue that it would weaken the role of the minority and lead to hasty and ill-considered laws. The debate on this issue continues.
