Amendments to the United States Constitution must be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures or by conventions in three-fourths of the states, not specifically by the House of Representatives. The process begins with either a two-thirds majority in both the House and the Senate or a national convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures. Once proposed, the amendment is then sent to the states for ratification. Therefore, the House does play a role in proposing amendments but not in the ratification process itself.
