What do Jefferson and Madison mean when they say, "you don't have the votes..your're gonna need Congressional approval and you don't have the votes."

Well, based on just this quote and no other background information, I believe what they mean is that [whoever they're talking to] needs a certain number of votes (3/4 majority vote) from congress in order to get congressional approval for whatever it is he or she needs the votes for.
