These types of changes are colloquially referred to as the "nuclear option" for a reason. So although the Senate could amend their rules to allow the CR to pass with only 51 votes, that's not at all a likely outcome, which is why it doesn't get talked about too much as a possible way out of the shutdown.

Albaby, I kept seeing that they changed the 60 needed rule just twelve days earlier to push through some appointments they wanted. I never evaluated that, is that statement deceptive? I wondered how they could change the 60 to 51 and then immediately change it back without Dem help.
