The authority to amend the constitution comes from Article V of the constitution. After congress proposes an amendment the Archivist of the United States is charged with the responsibility of ratification. The constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed by congress with two-thirds majority vote in both the house and senate or by a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures. None of the 27 amendments have been proposed by the convention method. The congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. The president doesn't have a constitutional role so it doesn't go to him for approval.
