Bills that reduce spending or passed by both houses require 51 votes, those not passed by both houses or increase spending require 60 votes. Or something similar I would have to look it up.

That said I am not sure even this is constitutional, you never know for sure till SCOUTS rules. Even then I don't always agree.
