31. Nope it is correct. A super majority is not required.

Can you point to the section of the war powers act where it requires a super majority for a concurrent resolution? The reason that this tactic hasn't been used is that it will wind up in the courts. There are some constitutional questions regarding the War Powers Act, especially this tactic.
