Assuming the current polling is accurate and the GOP walks away with 52 seats in the Senate this November, they would also need 305 seats in the House to have the 2/3rds super-majority necessary to pass a constitutional amendment.

That means they’d to pick up, oh, about 72 seats in the midterms. And that’s assuming 100% of GOP members vote for it.

Good luck with that, Sen. Smug & Punchable.

The 2/3rs majority rule applies to both chambers, not just the House. Meaning the GOP would also have to pick up another 15 Senate seats. Totally impossible.
