The US Congress must approve Constitutional Amendments by a 2/3rds majority. The previous answer (The Supreme Court) is incorrect. The Supreme Court has powers of Constitutional review (given in the Marbury vs Madison decision, commonly credited as the template of what is today considered the core of the power of the Supreme Court), which means they may find laws or precedents inconstitutional and revoke their power (i.e., Brown v Board of Education, which found "separate but equal" to be inconstitutional). This is not the same as creating Constitutional amendments.
