They must have present 2/3 of their members.
2/3 of their members.
more than one half of the members
they have to have a writ of assistance
The correct answer is 2/3.
Example, for the Senate to have a quorum, there must be 51 senators present ( one over half: 51/100 ). the same is true for the House of Representatives.
two-thirds of the House of Representatives must be present
2/3.
Congress must have a 'quorum'. That means that at least half of the members must be present. That would be 50 in the Senate and 219 in the House.
The Constitution states that in order to vote on a bill a simple majority of either the House or the Senate must be present. For the House this means that 281 members must attend. For the Senate this means that 51 members must be in attendance.
Each house must have at least 2/3 present.
a vote by the house,a vote by the senate ,and signing by the executive
The Constitution of the United States says that 2/3 of the Congressmen need to be present to do business. That means that 67 Senators and 291 House of Representatives need to be present during sessions.
A simple majority is required for a session of Congress. This is known as a quorum. Since the Senate has 100 members, 51 of them must be present. And since the House has 435 members, 218 must be present.
It is not true that in order for the Senate to begin the legislative process of all the bills is that it must be sent by the House of Representatives. It should be first reviewed and approved to by the committee it was assigned to.
