The number, known as a "quorum" is required to conduct any procedures. In the US Senate and the House, a simple majority being present is normally a quorum, except when the 12th Amendment requires a 2/3 quorum to elect a President and Vice President (if the Electoral College fails to do so).
In the Senate, a simple majority is 51 senators, in the House 218 representatives.
