An earlier poster mentioned that it would have to clear 2/3ds of a state legislature even before it would get to a vote ...will have to do a search on how Prohibition voting was repealed ...

Prohibition was repealed the old-fashioned way: 2/3 of Congress (House and Senate) sending it to the State legislatures where 3/4 of the state legislatures voted for its repeal.
