The constitution can be amended two ways outside of Congress.
One is to hold a constitutional convention that would need to initiated by 2/3 (34 states) of the several states, followed by the convention and anything from the constitutional convention must be ratified by the 3/4 (38 states) of the several states.
Another way is to simply proposed an amendment and have it pass through a state legislature or a state convention, which will then need to be ratified by 3/4 (38 states) of the several states.
