> The Constitution needs to be Amended to make it necessary to get a 60% vote to pass legislation in both The House and The Senate.

Yes, but making it harder to create new laws is only half the battle. Legislators love to make new laws, and the current system encourages them to do so.

So it should be made easier to remove old laws. How about it only takes a 40% vote to delete a law from the books?

We would be a better country with less legislation. Let's make it easy to reduce the amount.
