According to Article V of the Constitution, One method of amending the Constitution is for 2/3 of both houses (currently 287 of the 435-member House of Representatives, and 66 of the 100 Senators) to pass a proposed amendment and sent it to the states' legislatures. The states then have seven years to vote on the proposal. It takes 3/4 (38) states' approval of the amendment in order for it to be added to the Constitution.
The second method for amending the Constitution is a Constitutional Convention to be called for by 2/3 (33) of the states' legislatures. At this convention, one or more amendments can be proposed and then sent to the states' legislatures (or states' conventions) for approval-again, 3/4 of the states' legislatures must approve. (This method has never been used)
"We the People..." do not directly vote on new amendments, and the President doesn't have the power to veto an amendment.
The Framers intentionally made the amending process difficult.
