Changing the rules would either require a two-thirds vote or for Republicans to deploy the "nuclear" option.

Yeah? I know a 2/3 vote is required to remove the president based on a House Impeachment. But I think a simple 51% majority is all that's needed to vote to dismiss lacking articles.

"Yeah? I know a 2/3 vote is required to remove the president based on a House Impeachment. But I think a simple 51% majority is all that's needed to vote to dismiss lacking articles."

It's referring to a 2/3 vote to change the rules, not to dismiss.

But I'm not sure if it's right. I thought a rules change only required a majority vote.
