Amending the Constitution is a 2-step process, which includes the proposal, and the ratification. There are 2 ways an amendment can be proposed, either by Congress, or by the States.
A constitutional amendment is any change in the US Constitution. Like the constitution, an amendment must be proposed and then adopted by Congress or by state conventions. It must then be ratified by 2/3 of the current states before it becomes part of the Constitution. Amendments can only be superceded by another later amendment, or repealed by one.
the first requirement for an amendment to ba added is that you have to propose it. 2/3 of both houses (house and senaate) and 2/3 by the state legislative. the second requirement for an amendment to be added is that it must be ratified. 3/4 of the legislative and by 3/4 have indvidual constitution conventions
According to Article V of the US Constitution.. To propose an Amendment to the Constitution one of the following must occur: 1) 2/3 of Both Houses of Congress must vote to Propose an Amendment OR 2) 2/3 of the State Legislatures shall ask a congress to call a nation convention to propose amendments. However this has never been done. After the Amendment is Proposed by Congress, it must be ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures.
Two ways: First, an amendment may be proposed if two-thirds of both houses of Congress approve the amendment and agree to send it to the states.Second, an amendment can be proposed if Congress calls for a national convention at the request of two-thirds of all of the state legislatures.

No branch of Congress ratifies an amendment. 2/3s of both houses (House and Senate) propose an amendment and send the proposed amendment out to the states for ratification. 3/4s of the states are needed to "ratify" an amendment. This is found in Article 5 of the Constitution.
1. an amendment may be proposed be national convention. 2. then must be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures.
Whenever 2/3 of the House of Representatives agree. Article 5
Although only one has been used so far, there are two. The one that has been used every time is the one in which at least two thirds of each of the two houses of Congress passes a Constitutional Amendment Proposal. In the other procedure, at least two thirds of the states form a convention which passes an Amendment Proposal. In either case, at least three fourths of the states must approve (ratify) it before it becomes part of the Constitution.
The two steps are: 1. The house and senate pass the amendment with a 2/3 vote. 2. The amendment is then ratified by 3/4 of the states (currently would require 38).
Amendments are changes in, or additions to, the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution provides two ways to amend the document: Proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress or by a convention called by Congress at the request of two-thirds of the states. An amendment, in order to become part of the Constitution, must be ratified by three-fourths of the states.
