  • I don’t know why you think this, but the Constitution explicitly requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate to vote for conviction.

    Article I, section 3, clause 6:

    The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
