Although still not as good as these, Texas does have some weirder names. Point Blank, TX and Cut and Shoot, TX are two that come to mind.

The senate only needs a simple majority to pass a bill. They need 60 for the cloture vote to end a filibuster. 67 votes are needed for conviction in an impeachment trial. A two-thirds vote is also needed in both the House and Senate to override a Presidential veto.
But a constitutional amendment requires a two thirds vote in congress. It’s an even higher bar to clear than the filibuster. There aren’t enough republican seats to do it on their own. It would have to have bipartisan support.
