2/3rds majority in both the US House and Senate are required to propose an amendment to the US Constitution. Once passed by Congress, the amendment requires ratification of 3/4ths of the States to become law.

According to Article V of the Constitution there are two ways to amend the Constitution. The first is by a vote of 2/3 in the House , which is the most popular way. The second way is by 2/3 of the states petitioning Congress to hold a convention to amend the Constitution.

Two thirds of Congress has to favor an amendment proposal in the House. Three quarters of the state legislatures must then ratify the proposal for it to pass.
