Amending to the Constitution is explained in Article V (Bill of Rights) of the Constitution. The amendment process has two parts, proposal and ratification. Formal proposals are made by either 2/3 of Congress (this is the House of Representatives and the Senate) or a Constitutional Convention when 2/3 of state governments propose an amendment. Ratification requires 3/4 of states' legislatures (38 states) vote or state conventions comprised of delegates elected by the people. Article V also states a third way to ratify an amendment and that is Congress to call for a special convention. This was done once in 1933 when ratifying amendment 21 the repealing amendment 18. This was also the only time states had their own constitutional convention. The executive branch (the President) can only involve itself in ceremonial signings after ratification.
