Who has the power to Propose constitutional amendment?
Either Congress or a constitutional convention have the power to do propose amendments to the US Constitution under Article V of the Constitution. Congress may proposes a specific amendment for ratification by votes of two thirds of both houses of Congress. Congress may also convene a constitutional convention, on application of the legislatures of two thirds of the states, in order for the convention to prepare and propose specific amendments for ratification. This method has not yet been used.
In constitutional amendment procedure can several clauses of a constitution be contained in one constitutional amendment proposal?
In constitutional amendments, the single subject style of proposing amendment is mostly applied. Where several subjects are massed together in one legislative measure the ratifying state legislatures are prone to applying the item veto to signify their preferences in any such constitution amendment proposal. And where an item veto is applied to any matter in that proposal by a ratifying state legislature, the entire measure fails.
When congress passes a joint resolution proposing an amendment must this be signed by the president before sending it to the states for ratification?
yes
What are two ways of proposing an ammendment to the constitution?
Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment. or Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. (This method has never been used.) I found this on another site. To avoid any questions of plagiarism, here is the link. http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/usconstitution/a/constamend.htm
