Article V of the US Constitution states that by a vote of two thirds of both houses of Congress an amendment may be proposed to the states for ratification.
No part of congress can amended the Constitution of the United States.First it takes 2/3's of both houses to 'propose' an amendment to the Constitution or 2/3's of all the 'states' legislators to purpose an amendment (this has not happen yet).It then takes a 3/4 vote of the 'states' legislators of the United States, which would presently have to be 38 states being that 2/3's is 37.5 states.Or ratifying conventions in 3/4's of the states approve it, again this would be 38 states. note: This only has happened once, and that was the 21st Amendment, which ended 'prohibition'.So you see only the States can amend the U.S. Constitution.

There is not a specific percentage of states that must approve a proposed amendment to the constitution, but a percentage of votes in both the Senate and the House. Two thirds of the votes cast in the senate must be in favor of the new amendment, as well as two thirds of the votes in the House of Representatives.
To approve a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a two-thirds majority is required in both houses of Congress. This means that at least 67 out of 100 senators and at least 290 out of 435 representatives must vote in favor of the amendment. Once this threshold is met, the amendment can then be sent to the states for ratification.
3/4 of the states must approve it before it becomes part of the constitution.

To amend the U.S. Constitution, a proposed amendment must be approved by three-fourths of the state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states. This equates to 38 out of the 50 states, as the Constitution requires a supermajority for ratification.
Not only Congress needs to approve a change, but the states must also approve.
Three-fourths of state legislatures must approve an amendment proposed by Congress to the United States Constitution. An alternate method of ratification is for three-fourths of states must vote in favor of the amendment during a ratifying convention. This alternate method has only been used one time, for the ratification of the Twenty-First Amendment which repealed Prohibition.
