Answer :

The House and Senate can only pass amendments to the Constitution if "the amendment receives a two-thirds vote."


The Constitution gives that an amendment might be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by an established tradition called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 changes to the Constitution have been proposed by sacred tradition. The Congress proposes a revision as a joint resolution.

The House and Senate can only pass amendments to the Constitution if the amendment receives a two-thirds vote.
