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.
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.
