Ratification requires three-fourths, not two-thirds.

You are correct and I am wrong. Thank you for the correction.

[Gaffer]

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments to the Constitution have been proposed by constitutional convention. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

[Aevery_Freeman]

Article Five of the United States Constitution describes the process whereby the Constitution may be altered. Altering the Constitution consists of proposing an amendment or amendments and subsequent ratification.

Amendments may be adopted and sent to the states for ratification by either:

• Two-thirds (supermajority) of both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States Congress;
  OR
• By a national convention assembled at the request of the legislatures of at least two-thirds (at present 34) of the states.

To become part of the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified by either (as determined by Congress):
• The legislatures of three-fourths (at present 38) of the states;
  OR
• State ratifying conventions in three-fourths (at present 38) of the states.
