Is it true no bills can pass the senate or house except by three-fifths vote?

This is not strictly true. A simple majority of one more than half suffices to pass a bill. However, a 3/5 majority is required in the Senate to end debate and force a measure to a vote, so a 3/5 is needed to ram a controversial law through.
