To approve a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a two-thirds majority is required in both houses of Congress. This means that at least 67 out of 100 senators and at least 290 out of 435 representatives must vote in favor of the amendment. Once this threshold is met, the amendment can then be sent to the states for ratification.
