    It is a whole process to amend the constitution. It requires the Congress and Senate to agree to add an amendment (there’s a certain percentage of agreement required, but I can’t remember the exact amount.) alternatively, 2/3rds of the states can petition for a constitutional change.

    Iirc, the way it works is that it Congress to decides to add an amendment it is really only allowed to do that one thing and it’s done. But, if 2/3rds of the states do it, then it is a constitutional convention, and the document itself is up for editing. As in, should we get to that point, anything about the constitution could theoretically be changed, removed, or added.

    But honestly, Google to confirm, I haven’t researched that in many many moons
