3/4 votes from the state legislature, house of representatives and senate
In the U.S. Senate, 51 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor. A bill can also pass on a tie vote (50 - 50 or otherwise), as the Vice President will then cast a vote to break the tie. A bill cannot even reach the floor for a vote, however, if it is the subject of a filibuster unless there are 60 votes for cloture (which will allow a floor vote on the bill). In the U.S. House, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor.
No...this is too small of a majority to pass according to the constitution
Well, honey, in the U.S. Senate, you typically need a simple majority to pass a bill, which means at least 51 out of the 100 senators need to be on board. But don't get too comfortable, 'cause the rules can change depending on the situation. So, buckle up and keep an eye on those numbers!
Well, honey, in the House of Representatives, you need a simple majority of 218 out of 435 votes to pass a bill. Over in the Senate, it's a bit trickier - you usually need 60 out of 100 votes to avoid a filibuster and get that bill passed. So, buckle up and start counting those votes, it's gonna be a bumpy ride!

Actually, there are a limited amount of people in the Senate. Anyway, the bill is passed when there are more votes to pass the bill EX: 60 wants bill, 25 doesn't

2/3 of the voters need to vote to pass it.
2/3 of Senate
To pass a bill to the president, there must be a majority vote in both houses (over 50%). If the president vetoes the bill, it still may pass, except this time it needs a 2/3 majority vote from both houses.
There are 100 United States Senators. A majority of the Sentate is needed for a bill to be passed. However, if there is a filibuster, then it requires 60 votes to overcome the filibuster, and then it takes a majority of the Senate to pass a bill.
A simple majority ( 51 votes if all vote) will pass any bill in the Senate. (Please note that all tax bills must originate in the House.)
when the president vetoes a bill, a 2/3 vote is required where 2/3 or higher senators vote for the bill to become a law.
The Senate can defeat a bill with 51 votes.
