I have to disagree with you, here. Would it take a legislative act? Yes. But it is within the Constitutional authority of Congress to do just that. It may be a rule change because it changes the law, but it is well within the framework of the rules because the Constitution is that very framework.
I never claimed it was outside the framework of the law for it to be changed, but that's never been my point to begin with. My point is that one is a dramatic, if not drastic, rule change and the other is operating within the framework of the existing rules. I cannot countenance changing the rules to only benefit you, whomever is doing it.
