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.

If the association's governing documents require a 90 percent majority as a vote to approve a matter, then that is what is required. A simple majority does not satisfy the 90 percent majority requirement. Generally, the 90 percent majority indicates a majority of owners. No even a simple majority of board members can overwhelm this requirement.
In the US Supreme Court.
Simple majority is over half of everyone. i.e. 51/100 Two thirds majority is two thirds of everyone. i.e. 66.6666666.../100

Taking the route you proposed, once Congress passes a proposed amendment, the amendment is subsequently proposed to State Legislatures. 3/4 of the State Legislatures must pass in order for the amendment to be added to the Constitution. --Charlie G.

The Governor of each state or the Mayor of Washington DC is the one who signs the Certificate of Ascertainment, the official list of the electors appointed by the state or DC. In each state each ticket (each pair of a presidential candidate and his vice-presidential running mate) has its own slate of electors, a group of people totaling the full number of electors the state may appoint who are usually chosen by the political party and who have pledged to vote for the party's candidates. In most states and DC the ticket that receives the most popular votes statewide in the General Election gets their whole slate of electors appointed. In Maine and Nebraska only two electoral appointments in each state are based on the statewide popular vote, and each additional appointment is based on which ticket gets the most popular votes in each congressional district. Since adopting this method in 1972, however, Maine's two congressional districts have always voted the same, so all of Maine's votes go to one ticket in every election anyway. In fact, the only time that Maine has EVER split their presidential or vice-presidential electoral votes is when one of Maine's nine electors at the time voted for the Andrew Jackson/ John C. Calhoun ticket in 1828. Nebraska has been using this method since 1996 but has only actually split their votes once. In 2008 the McCain/Palin ticket got the most popular votes statewide and in two of Nebraska's three congressional districts. In the other district the Obama/Biden ticket got the most popular votes. So the Governor appointed four electors from the Republican slate of electors and one from the Democratic slate.
