There are two ways to propose an Amendment to the US Constitution:
1. An amendment may be introduced and pass both houses of Congress (House of Representatives and the Senate) by a majority of at least two-thirds (66.7%) of a quorum (not necessarily 2/3 of the full body).
2. Or, a Constitutional Convention may be convened if two-thirds of the states' legislatures call for a convention. Once the convention is convened, any amendment may be introduced, discussed and voted on.
Once an Amendment is proposed by either process above, then it must be Ratified by three-quarters (75%) of the states (currently 38), either by a vote of the state legislature or state convention.
