Depends on how one defines majority. Parlimentary procedures usually define:
51% = "Simple Majority" 2/3 or 66% = "Super Majority" .... such as to break a filibuster in the US Senateand in some cases bylaws or rules may dictate 3/4 or 75% is required to pass certain motions.

AH! It's interesting that you should mention JFK, since he's also a president who bought his election (I still remember as a child looking at a billboard that proclaimed his landslide victory.....in the Electorial College, that doesn't have to vote according to the voting block they "represent"...and my going "huh?" because it didn't add up in my mind). But, being a good guy Demoncrat Holy Roman (catholic) Emperor, no one wants to think about THAT. The good guys don't DO that, right?
Right. It's why I usually vote 3rd party.
In other words, nothing at all.
