8th amendment
The Amendment process is the formal way to change pieces of the Constitution to better suit the nation's rights. According to Article V, two-thirds of Congress must deem it necessary in order to propose an amendment. To ratify the amendment, three-fourths of the states must approve.
The only way to change the US Constitution is for a bill to pass both houses of the legislature by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it h\goes on to the states.
Three-fourths (38) of the states must ratify an amendment in order to add it to the Constitution.
If an amendment to the Constitution is submitted to the states, then three-fourths of all states must approve it. Today that would be 38 states. This action, if it occurred, would result in a Constitutional Convention in order to add the amendment. This process has never been used to add any amendment. The more usual process is the creation of a joint resolution of Congress, which is approved by two-thirds votes in both houses and forwarded to the National Archivist for inclusion in the Constitution.
In order to Amand the United States Constitution the amendment must be passed by Congress. The amendment will also need to be passed by two thirds of the individual states.
The statements in the constitution are valid in todays government, but some of them have and can be changed. But we have a process for this in our government so that we can't change the constitution at will and without reason.

By a vote of two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states
The Congress proposes an amendment in the form of a joint resolution. Since the President does not have a constitutional role in the amendment process.
The first successor, the vice-president, is set by the Constitution. The rest of the list was set by an act of Congress. An amendment to the Constitution provides for a method of filling a vacancy in the vice-presidency.
If you mean by the president, or by the executive branch, no. There is a pretty intense process to repealing, as well as ratifying an amendment, because amendments are pretty much ultimate law. I pretty much gave you a dumbed down version, you can also read the constitution.
An amendment can be repealed by passing a new amendment that specifically overturns or nullifies the original one. This new amendment must go through the same process of being proposed and ratified in order to officially repeal the existing one.
