It takes only a simple majority to impeach.
If you have a case you should have no problem getting the 2/3 to convict.

Article 1, section 3 states:
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.

This is why we need a parliamentary system- wouldn't hve to impeach him would just vote "no confidence" and actually have change in the government rather than wasting two years in limbo.

the problem is not the two thirds..its getting any evidence at all...as no impeachable behavior exists, its postively priceless watching the contortionists from the pelosi/reid regime try to manufacture it.
