I believe this requires 60 votes.

The national emergency law specifies how it is voted on:

(2) Any joint resolution so reported shall become the pending business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and the opponents) and shall be voted on within three calendar days after the day on which such resolution is reported, unless such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

I think that means it bypasses any requirement for a 60 vote cloture vote.

No, simple majority. But it will require 67 to override the veto and those votes aren't there.

I would hope so. If so it dies in the Senate.
