When did the amendment 25 to the declaration get signed?
There have been NO amendments to the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps you are thinking of the 25th amendment to the Constitution? Constitutional amendments are not "signed"; they are passed by a 2/3 vote of the Congress and then ratified by 3/4 of the States. It is an interesting quirk in the law that the President of the United States has ABSOLUTELY NO authority to do anything about a Constitutional amendment; he can't sign it or veto it, and it isn't up to him at all. The 25th Amendment, regarding the Presidential succession, was ratified in 1967.
How does a Constitutional Amendment that has passed Congress become a law?
For a bill to become a law, it must first be passed by both houses of congress, and then signed by the president (the procedure is different in other countries, but let's discuss how it's done in the USA). But for an amendment to be added to the constitution, there is one extra (and very difficult) step. After the proposed amendment passes both houses of congress, it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states. If this does not occur, it dies and does not become an amendment. For example, the Equal Rights Amendment was passed by congress, but it did not gain approval of 3/4 of the states, so it never became a law.
