Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amendments to the Constitution are proposed by a two-thirds vote of Congress, either through the House of Representatives or the Senate. This is outlined in Article V of the Constitution. Once proposed, amendments must be ratified by three-fourths of the states either through their state legislatures or through state conventions. Amendments are not made by the Supreme Court or approved by popular vote, and they can also not be vetoed by the president.
