Which branch of government can change the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court?

The US Supreme Court's original jurisdiction is defined by Article III of the Constitution. Congress (Legislative Branch) can determine whether original jurisdiction is shared or exclusive, but can't strip the Court of its original jurisdiction or add to it. The Supreme Court's original jurisdiction may be changed by constitutional amendment, either initiated by a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress, followed by ratification of 75% of the State legislatures; or by the States if at least two-thirds petition for a Constitutional Convention to propose an amendment, and 75% of the states ratify that amendment.
