I am in a quandry. Just the last day or so, it was posted that Clinton conviction in the Senate was turned down by a vote of I believe 55-45.
That is no two thirds vote, just a majority carried the aquital day
************************************************************************************
2/3 =66 and 2/3 of 100—So 67 needed for conviction—they don’t vote on innocence or aquittal—they vote guilty ie to convict. If less than 67, then the motion to convict and remove is defeated due to insufficient votes.

Is THIS part of 'We're saving Israel for last' process as told by Q?

Benjamin Netanyahu is indicted for fraud, breach of trust and bribery by Israel's attorney general

I read that the actual count is “2/3 of those present.”

Minor quibble.
