Yes, a simple majority is enough to pass an ordinary bill. However, especially in the Senate, the minority can filibuster against a bill. meaning they engage in an endless debate, thereby preventing the bill from coming up to a vote. In order to cut off debate and force a vote, a 3/5 vote is required by Senate rules.
