  • To amend the United States Constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the states. The process is outlined in Article V of the Constitution.

    Congress: A two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate is required

    Constitutional convention: Two-thirds of state legislatures must call for a convention

    Ratification: Three-fourths of state legislatures or conventions must ratify the amendment

    Each state legislature must vote on the amendment in an up-or-down vote

    State legislatures cannot change the language of the amendment

    This is DOA
