The filibuster is a Senate rule that can be removed by simple majority vote. If that is done, all legislation would only require a similar majority vote instead of 60 votes.

IIRC the Dems already got rid of the filibuster for cabinet nominations a few years back when they got frustrated with Repuplicans filibustering all of Obama’s choices.
