I also have only flimsy doubts (the libertarian constitutionalists would object, but they are still a small minority in the GOP). Still, Democrats are going into history books as the party that just have demolished yet another (if a fairly minor) limitation to the power of the Executive.
The filibuster has little bearing on the executive. The Veep being the tie-breaking vote is a fairly rare thing.
