According to article 100 (3) of Indian Constitution - Until Parliament by law otherwise provides, the quorum to constitute a meeting of either House of Parliament shall be one tenth of the total number of members of the House.
A simple majority of members is all that is required in either house to vote on an issue. It is always assumed that there is a quorum.
It is called a Quorum.
A quorum in the U.S. Senate requires a majority of its members to be present. Since the Senate has 100 members, at least 51 senators must be present to constitute a quorum for conducting official business.
One tenth of the total members, that is 25 members.
The question of "how many is a quorum" should be answered in the committee, board, or club's bylaws, with a clause such as "membership present shall constitute a quorum for voting" or some will use a percentage. When all else fails - at least 51% of the total membership should be present for a vote.
A quorum refers to the minimum number of members of governmental body that must be present for official business to take place. In the Senate and House of representative, a simply majority constitutes a quorum.
The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 5, Clause 1 states in part, "... a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business..." Currently (in May 2013) that is at least 218 Representatives and at least 51 Senators.
A majority of U.S. Senators constitutes a quorum to do business. The size of the U.S. Senate, barring vacancies, has been 100 since 1959. A majority of 100 is at least 51.
The quorum is 218. This is the minimum amount of people needed to conduct business. This makes sense because there are 435 total members in the House of Representatives and 217.5 is exactly half.
