>> I’m guessing it needs 2/3rd to pass so the POTUS can’t Veto it.

No, it needs 2/3 majority because they’re bringing it up under suspension of rules — straight up or down vote, no amendments possible.

I applaud your zeal, but if you’re going to be a political activist, you need not to “guess” at how the system works — you need to invest the energy to *learn* how it *really does* work.
