constitutional majority

Read a random definition: Transferred intent

A quick definition of constitutional majority:

A constitutional majority is when more than half of all the members in a group or organization agree on something. This means that there are enough people who support a decision to make it official and valid. It's like when you and your friends vote on what game to play, and more than half of you choose one game, that's the game you'll play because it's what most people want.

A more thorough explanation:

A constitutional majority is a term used in parliamentary law to refer to a majority of all the actual members, disregarding vacancies. It is also known as a majority of all the members or a majority of the entire membership.

  • If a parliament has 100 members, a constitutional majority would be 51 votes, regardless of how many vacancies there are.
  • In the United States Senate, a constitutional majority is required to approve a treaty or override a presidential veto, which is two-thirds of the senators present.

These examples illustrate that a constitutional majority is a specific type of majority that is required for certain actions to be taken in parliamentary law. It is different from a simple majority, which only requires more than half of the members who vote.
