"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution requires a two-thirds supermajority to convict a person being impeached."

So I just did the math and realized that the number of members of Congress who are respondents in the Brunson Case are: 291/435 for House which is 66.9% (more than two-thirds) and 94/100 for Senate which is 94% (again more than two-thirds) which is the minimum number required as per constitution for conviction after impeachment. Can it just be a coincidence or do these numbers mean something? Does it give extra power to SCOTUS to remove these members while ruling on the Brunson Case?
