To pass a bill in congress it must have __% vote by both houses:?

Question

a. 67
b. 51
c. 22
d. 100
this is for homework

Answer 1

51%. the conference committee, as explained by someone else, only happens if one house passes a different version of the bill from the other. for instance, this immigration bill. the bill from the senate is different from the house, so it will go to a conference committee for negotiators to hammer out a compromise. if the versions are the same, it goes straight to the president, and doesnt need to be voted on again by either house.

Answer 2

I'm a political science major and everyone on here is right by answering b. 51%. Once a bill passes both houses, it must pass through what is known as a Conference Committee made up of both Representatives and Senators. Then the final conference committee version of a bill must again pass by simple majority (51%) in both houses. Bill then lands itself on the President's desk for signature or veto.

Answer 3

The answer is B.
Technically, it is 50% plus 1, or 218 votes.

Unless it is an amendment to the Constitution - those require a 2/3 (67%) vote of Congress.

Answer 4

50.00001 % except on some which requires 2/3. A Constitutional Amendment for instance.
