The government of the United States is broken into three branches. The one that would propose and pass an Amendment on school prayer is the legislative branch or Congress.
34 states to propose an amendment
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.
Congress can propose an amendment to the constitution as long as there is a two thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives as well as the Senate. The only other way to propose an amendment would be through a constitutional convention with a two thirds vote from all the states' legislatures.
Only members of Congress or state legislatures can propose an amendment to the Constitution.
2/3 of congress (made up of the house of representatives and the senate) proposes an amendment
To propose an amendment: 1. Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment, or 2. Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.
