    When you have 2 of the 3 branches and the 3rd branch refuses to protect it’s own power then that’s effectively a 2/3 vote.

      That’s not how it works.

      It’s:

      3/4 of the states

      2/3 of the house

      2/3 of the Senate

      And luckily exactly 0% of the president.

      In other words you need 3 miracles in a row.

      In other other words, unless there’s an alien invasion (not that kind) it ain’t happenin’

        Laws that are unenforced are not laws, they are traditions.

        Laws that are enforced are laws, even if they aren’t written down. Trump got push back in his first term, from all three branches of government. Now? If everyone just agrees he can speak laws into existence, then he can.
