    Oh I see, 2/3 isn’t that bad. I was under the impression it required 3/4 of all states – but that’s the alternative method, right?

      Ok, to be additionally specific…it takes 2/3rds in both the House and Senate or it takes a Constitutional convention, where 2/3rds of the state legislatures are needed to propose an amendment, and 3/4 of them need to ratify it. So, you are correct on the 3/4, if they go the convention route. I was really only thinking about Congress when I wrote that.
