For the Congressional Gold Medal to be awarded, overwhelming congressional support is necessary. While the average bill in Congress typically receives approximately 40 cosponsors in the House and eight in the Senate, a Congressional Gold medal requires at least 290 cosponsors in the House and 40 in the Senate before it can be considered for adoption. The number of members of Congress cosponsoring the legislation bestowing the Congressional Gold Medal on Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew grew to 327, exceeding the number on all other bills in the Congress in recent years.
