Initially, a simple majority is needed to pass a bill (that's 218 Representatives and 51 Senators).

However, if the President vetoes the bill, then two thirds of both houses (290 Representatives and 67 Senators) must vote to override the veto.

Also, two thirds is always initially necessary to propose a Constitutional Amendment.
