Does that mean that 2/3rds of the total senate must vote in favor of waiving the requirement, or 2/3rds of the number of senators voting must vote in favor?

Given the text says "two-thirds of its number" I would take that to mean two thirds of all Senators. Had it said by a two-thirds vote, then I would take that two mean only of the voting members. However, I think we should ask whoever wrote the thing.
