You’re wrong on that but don’t be ashamed about it because so many others are in the same boat as you.
I am happy to help bring you and others up to speed and correct misconceptions.
Article V of the Constitution was written to allow States to work outside of Congress and with no involvement of their governors to propose amendments to the Constitution. Once 2/3’s (34 states) have agreed on a proposed amendment, the proposal goes to the National Archives and then back out to the States for ratification where 3/4’s (38 states) must ratify for the proposed amendment for it to become a part of the Constitution.
So Congress has no role. That’s the beauty of it.
That provision was worded and written by a close friend and fellow Virginian of General George Washington, George Mason. He correctly saw that Congress could itself become tyrannical, and thus wrote a safety valve in Article V to allow the states and the people to decide.
It’s been a long time since I re-read article five, but I just did. My reading confirms my memory—the way around Congress involves a convention that may propose amendments to go back to the states. As I understand it, we are getting close to the convention point—but who knows what will come out of it.
I don’t see how to get a single amendment in and out without involving a convention that could do all sorts of things, including ignoring the original amendment.
