It will be back until it passes. As to when, that depends on many things.

A two-thirds vote in each house of Congress is needed to pass a constitutional amendment (or two-thirds of the 50 state legislatures need to call for a constitutional convention). Once passed by the Congress or a constitutional convention, a proposed amendment goes out to the states for ratification. It takes passage in three-fourths of the states to ratify.
In the senate, you need 60 votes to reach the required two-thirds, a nearly impossible hurdle in modern times.
