I dunno....it does takes 2/3rds but its 2/3rds of who is there at the time not 2/3 of the 100.
With lots of republicans distancing themselves from Trump, others seeing there donorships starting to disappear, the defection of a few R Sens already and McConnell wanting to wrestle back power in the party...i can see a scenario where it happens quite easily.
A simple no show of 20 or so Senators would be all it takes and they dont have to have a vote one way or the other on record.
The whole Liz Cheney turning on him thing is a really big deal as well. She is as an established old school R as it gets....and those folks aint very happy right now.
