State
The claim that the filibuster is in the Constitution is false: extended debate is a Senate rule, and the Senate has changed it repeatedly.

The 1975 move from two-thirds to three-fifths was a rules change — no amendment required.
Watch for
What a chamber's rules create, the chamber's rules can alter.
