So if you want to essentially make cloture a process requiring only a simple majority — you can do that, provided you get 66 Senators to agree that is a good rule.

Changing the rules only requires 51 votes.

Creating a rule that requires 66 Senators to change a rule would be an unconstitutional power grab by the senators making such a rule.

Prove it.

The rule is what it is. Agreed to by 66 Senators in the past.

You got nothing.
