The power to amend the Constitution lies in the people, ultimately. Congress proposes amendments and they are then submitted to state legislature. Three-fourths of the states must ratify it. Citizens vote for state legislature based on their views.

∙ 8y agoThe US Congress ( i.e. the legislative branch of the federal government)
can propose amendments to the US Constitution . A 2/3 vote in both houses is required . (The president does not have sign proposed amendments and he can not veto them.)
There is a second method of proposing amendments, and that is for a Convention to be called for the proposing of amendments. Either Congress by a 2/3 vote or 2/3 of the state legislatures can call for such a convention to be held. This method has never been tried.
In either case, a proposed amendment does not become law until 3/4 of the states ratify it.
The amendment process is given in Article V of the Constitution.
