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.

You must not have seen what recently happened in Oregon and other states. It's very likely that some of the Democrats will lose their seats now as a result of their votes against the Amendment.
