Where are all amendments of the constitution approved at?
Constitutional amendments must first pass both houses of congress, and they are then sent to the states to be ratified. To become a law, 3/4 of the states must agree to ratify an amendment. This is to make sure that amending the constitution is difficult and requires a lot of thought before it happens. So, to sum up, after a proposed amendment is approved by congress, it must then go to the individual states; if enough states vote to approve it, the amendment becomes a part of the constitution.

What happens after the president vetoes a bill?
The Bill goes back to the Congress with the president's explanation of his objection. Congress can either take no action or try to get a two-thirds majority of both the House and Senate to enact the legislation over the President's objection.
What needs to be done so an amendment becomes part of the constitution?
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.What this means is that there are four ways for an amendment to be added.Proposal by convention of states, ratification by state conventionsProposal by convention of states, ratification by state legislaturesProposal by Congress, ratification by state conventionsProposal by Congress, ratification by state legislatures
