Amendments to the U.S. Constitution can be proposed by approval of two-thirds of each house of the U.S. Congress. They can also be proposed by a Constitutional Convention called by two-thirds of states legislatures.
An amendment can be prevented from passing if it does not get enough votes to be proposed (2/3 of both houses in Congress, through a constitutional convention called by 2/3 state legislatures). If an amendment is proposed it can still be prevented from passing by not getting enough votes ( 3/4 of legislatures in states must ratify, or 3/4 of the states must have individual constitutional conventions to ratify it.)
