What do you think about a Constitutional Amendment requiring a 2/3's majority to even refer Articles of Impeachment?

Background: In a response to Cpl William OHara from another post {https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-the-speaker-of-the-house-of-representatives-violating-the-6th-amendment-to-the-us-constitution?page=5&urlhash=5536912} Cpl William OHara might have an excellent idea.

Discussion: He has suggested that if it takes 2/3's to convict in the Senate, it should take 2/3's to levy (aka refer) charges from the House in the 1st place! In this way "bipartisanship" would naturally endorse for removal of the CoC even before the Senate takes up the case.

However, that would mean that the for the party in power to have a 2/3's major to pass would have to have 291-292 members from the same party to pull off what the DEMS just attempted to do. Any party in the simple majority could still do all the investigation in committee and open congressional hearings they want, but proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt for any POTUS would reduce the likelihood of partisan behaviors, without a REAL reach across the aisle, such as with Nixon.

While I am not a Clinton fan the bar for the impeachment of Clinton under Cpl William OHara's standard would have been higher about his is lying regarding Monica. Frankly that would have, I think, forced a Censure resolution by the Republican Congress vs Impeachment.

Here are some references that can be considered regarding Cpl William OHara's idea:

Some serious food for thought!

If such an amendment came to a floor debate and vote before 2026 and was approved by that same time that would make politics very interesting!!! If one looks at the current political landscape (https://www.270towin.com/) the nation's potential desire to make such an amendment part of the US Constitution could be achieved with the right strategy addressed to the American electorate.

I think both Democrats and Republicans could support this if the right language for such an Amendment were developed to include some other benchmarks!

I would think Cpl William OHara is onto something.

So, my question is this:

If such an Impeachment Threshold Amendment (ITA) were to be developed in a bipartisan manner would you PERSONALLY support it and would you ADVOCATE to your House and Senate members for it's immediate adoption to the US Constitution?

Also, if you respond to this post I'd also like to know what hazards such an amendment might post that the nation could not right now foresee and might be hamstrung by in the near future if put in place say, in the next five years.

As always, this topic could generate some very interesting feedback. Please always state your position and support it with facts vs emotion. While some emotion is fine, I am, as always looking for rational input positive or negative to the intent of this post.
