1. You need 2/3's majority vote from Congress. 2. You need 3/4's vote from the states. (38 states).
According to Article V of the US Constitution.. To propose an Amendment to the Constitution one of the following must occur: 1) 2/3 of Both Houses of Congress must vote to Propose an Amendment OR 2) 2/3 of the State Legislatures shall ask a congress to call a nation convention to propose amendments. However this has never been done. After the Amendment is Proposed by Congress, it must be ratified by 3/4 of the State Legislatures.
Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment. or Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. (This method has never been used.) I found this on another site. To avoid any questions of plagiarism, here is the link. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/usconstitution/a/constamend.htm
The states ratify ammendaments. But only amendments that pertain or affect the state.

There are two ways to propose and ratify amendments to the Constitution. To propose amendments two thirds of both houses of congress can vote to propose an amendment, and two thirds of the state legislatures can ask congress to call a national convention to propose amendments.
Amendments are considered apart of the theconstitution with the same enforcement value. I believe the constitution says amendments have the same "intents and purposes" as the rest of the constitution.Amendments can be passed in two ways: 1) Congress can propose an amendment to the states by a 2/3 majority vote in each house. Then if 3/4 of the states ratify it..it becomes an amendment.2) 2/3 of the states call a convention to propose amendments. If 3/4 of all the states ratify those proposals; they become amendments.
An amendment is an addition, deletion of modification of the contents of the U.S. Constitution. It can be ratified through a majority vote of two-thirds in both legislature houses, and by a constitutional convention.
Two ways: First, an amendment may be proposed if two-thirds of both houses of Congress approve the amendment and agree to send it to the states.Second, an amendment can be proposed if Congress calls for a national convention at the request of two-thirds of all of the state legislatures.
Article V in the Constitution spells out the ways how a Constitution can be amendment or changed. All of the 27 amendments have been proposed by two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, and only the Twenty-first Amendment was ratified by constitutional conventions of the states. All other amendments have been ratified by state legislature.

There are many romantic ways to propose. Some people propose in a fancy restaurant, a national sporting event, special holidays and anniversaries and just spur of the moment.
article 5 says that congress may propose amendments by 2/3 vote in each house, or by a national convention of delegates from each state.
There are two basic methods to propose an amendment, and four ways to go about actually making the amendment a reality. One way is a proposal by congress, which is followed by ratification by state conventions. This method has only been used once.
