Yes, this does happen. One good example is the Equal Rights Amendment. It was passed by congress in 1972 and then sent to the states to be ratified. At first, it seemed the amendment would succeed, but after 35 states had ratified it (it needed 38 to become law), the ERA stalled. There was normally a seven year time-limit for an amendment to be ratified, and although the deadline had been extended, by 1982, time ran out and the Equal Right Amendment failed.
