Congress needs to be defunded and re-imagined...

And to do that Trump needs Trump loyalists in 60% of the house and 2/3 of the Senate.

“After seven weeks of delay and debate, Senate Resolution 4, as amended, was passed on March 7, 1975. While it is considered “the Byrd rule” today, Senators Mondale and Pearson are credited with the change. Senator Nelson (D-WI) states, “Much of the credit for this important change in Senate procedures goes to the chief sponsors of Senate Resolution 4—the distinguished Senator from Minnesota and the distinguished Senator from Kansas. Despite formidable opposition, these Senators steered Senate Resolution 4 through the parliamentary thicket and to final passage. They are to be congratulated and to be thanked.” [8]”

Mondale had the Filibuster in the Senate changed to 60% in 1975.

I think a simple majority in the House and 60% in the Senate would enable significant changes.

2/3s of both Chambersa and 3/4s of States.
