Motions that typically require a two-thirds majority include those that limit or close debate, suspend the rules, amend the bylaws, and expel a member from an organization. This higher threshold is intended to ensure a significant consensus before making substantial changes or taking actions that could significantly affect the group. Additionally, certain motions related to the adoption of rules or significant policy changes may also fall under this requirement.
Simple majority is over half of everyone. i.e. 51/100 Two thirds majority is two thirds of everyone. i.e. 66.6666666.../100
In the U.S. Senate, there are 100 members, so a two-thirds majority would require 67 votes. This threshold is often needed for actions such as overriding a presidential veto or closing debate on a filibuster. Therefore, to achieve a two-thirds majority, at least 67 senators must support the measure in question.
In the United States Congress, a two-thirds majority vote is required for the expulsion of a member from either the House of Representatives or the Senate. For a conviction in an impeachment trial, a two-thirds majority of the Senate is also necessary. This high threshold ensures that expulsion and conviction are not taken lightly and require broad bipartisan support.
For a majority system, all that is required to reach a decision is that a majority of voters prefer one alternative to another. In a two-thirds majority system (also known as supermajority), two-thirds of voters must prefer one alternative to another for it to be decided. This means more support is necessary under supermajority than under simple majority rule.
