"2/3 vote of the Senate to convict"

OH. Then this ain't about to happen. I guess the thread title should then include Republicans, too.

Thanks for your help understanding this thing. In Canada, the government 'falls' when there is a dismal vote on an important bill proposed by the ruling party. If the bill is defeated, it is assumed that there is no-confidence in the ruling party and they have to call a general election. Is it 2/3 in the House or 3/4?
