“There is no way to get any EO’s into law due to the 2/3 vote required in the Senate.”

Actually, I believe the House and Senate could codify any executive order into standard law with their normal simple majorities and have Trump sign it (of course the Senate will insist on their 60 vote margin).

I think the 2/3 vote is when they want to override an EO. I might stand corrected, but that is my understanding.

Interesting. I will look into that.

2/3s is to override vetoes.
