Hello, I think that the term "nuclear option" is very general, and using Nuclear option to describe this U.S. Senate procedure is undue. -- 167.58.214.170 ( talk) 19:39, 16 June 2017 (UTC) reply

This article contains multiple redundancies. For example, it refers to "simple majority" and "three-fifths majority." A majority is a majority. If a greater number of votes is required, that requirement is referred to as a "three-fifths vote" or a "two-thirds vote" respectively.
