you need 2/3 of a fraction for a Constitutional Amendment
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.

Two thirds of the states must approve a change to the Constitution before it can go into effect. Since there are currently 50 states, 34 of them must approve any amendment.
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.
