When it's a binary vote, that is yes or no, then a plurality and a majority are that same thing.

Besides, Senate rules say that, unless a cloture vote was asked for, a plurality of Senators voting for a bill is sufficient for it to pass.

The Senate does not allow proxy votes.

...Im surprised they ever require identification to vote. Chuckie in Charge Now!

...50 votes is not a majority in the senate. It is a plurality.
