A simple majority vote is the right answer.

Senate approval of a presidential nomination requires a simple majority vote to be victorious. However, when it comes to nominees for Supreme Court, it requires votes of at least sixty Senators to be successful. This is principally due to the fact that magistrates serve the Supreme Court for a lifetime, while the additional presidential posts typically vary with each regime.
