    I think there needs to be a senate & congress vote AND a majority of states need to ratify the amendment after which the Supreme court does a review.

    I’m not sure a Supreme Court review is an official part of the process—the SC can review the constitutionality of ordinary laws, but amendments are constitutional by definition.

      Wouldn’t the Supreme Court need to review to make sure 1 new amendment doesn’t include wording that conflicts with other amendments thought? Just asking, not sure about any of these, in fact I cannot even remember any amendment ratified after the Women’s right to vote in the 1920s.
