64 out of 465 That makes 13%, so if the reporters were honest, they’d have demonstrated the minority it is by saying: “Just 13% of Congress Condemns Trumps Threat to North Korea”.

Actually I think 435 serve in the House of Representatives, and 100 serve in the Senate for a total of 535. So 60 of 535 is 11.2%.

Mea Culpa - you are right. I took the 435 figure out of my head, it was the first to come to mind, and then without thinking further ignored the Senate. My bad.
