It means to fix a legislation that was passed with the Constitution. I.E. The Bill of Rights has ten amendments to the legislation.

As proposed legislation ("a bill") proceeds through committee, and picks up additional sponsors, often, support is only forthcoming if additions, deletions or changes are made to the proposed statutory language, in order to obtain the support of a particular legislator or legislators. The results of the deliberations that occur in proceedings in committee can have the effect of amending legislation before it is put to a vote by the upper house (the U.S. Senate) and the lower house (the U.S. House of Representatives).

Also, reports of planned, proposed, or enacted changes to existing law could be called "amending legislation" although it is not legislation, but simply a communicative writing reporting proposed or effected changes to legislation. These typically contain the original legislated statutory passages in strikethrough text for comparative and analytical purposes.
