Sorry, as pointed out by Carry_Okie in #40 above, it's 2/3 of Senators present. My apologies.

The only “rule” that could keep this from being shoved down our throats is that 51 Senators must be present to form a quorum. However, the Dems do have 51 to form that quorum anytime they need it. The Constitution requires 51 to make for a quorum and Senate rules do, too, but who is say they wouldn’t simply hold a vote and say, “So, what?”, to such rules.
