This would take a simple majority in both Houses of Congress. 218 votes in the House and 51 votes in the Senate if all seats are filled and everybody votes. The VP could break a tie-vote in the Senate.
How many seats does the minority party needs to win in the next election to take power in the house of representatives?
There are, I think, 435 seats in the House of Representatives. One party does not "Win" the House, but certainly one party can "Control" the House. "Control" of the House is, as far as I know, by simple majority. "Control" in this scenario, is 218 seats. However, to be clear, many decisions made by the House, are in fact not decided by simple majority, such decisions require, I think, a 60% affirmative vote. This would include overriding a VETO: A change to the Constitution, and other significant "law making" efforts. In such a case a vote would require, 261 votes ( not necessarily seats ). Even so, and probably not to the point, cases that require a 60% majority, would also require the same of the Senate: thus making ~dominant~ control of the House ineffectual without ~dominant~ control of the Senate. -Dejunai
