Best Answer

When more than two thirds of the membership of the U.S. House or Senate represents the same party, it is called a super-majority. When one party is represented by a super-majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, like the Republican Party was from 1865-03-04 to 1873-03-03, they have the power to make any bill a law whether the President likes it or not.
