Both options A and B involve Congress proposing the amendment, while option C involves the states proposing the amendment. Option D is incorrect because a presidential veto can be overridden with a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress. Option E includes the options of Congress proposing the amendment through a two-thirds vote or calling for a national convention at the request of two-thirds of the states' legislatures, giving more flexibility in the amendment process.
