The second option flagrantly violates the "one state, one vote" ethos of the Senate, so I can't support it
The first option is also ridiculous. 49 Senate Democrats in lockstep could never block a vote in a Senate controlled by 51 Republicans...but 8 fewer senators (40 Senate Republicans and 1 Senate Democrat) could prevent a vote indefinitely? Plus, this would also require enshrining party caucuses into the Standing Rules of the Senate, thus really hamstringing future independents. And couldn't senators just periodically switch parties to get around this rule?
