In the United States Congress, there must be a minimum number of members on the floor to conduct bussiness. This number is reffered to as a quorum. The U.S. Congress has set it's quorum at a simple majority, more than one half. So, for instance, in the Senate (which has 100 members) 51 members must be present, while in the House of Representatives, (which has 435 members) 218 members must be on the floor.
