The right to propose amendments is found in the fifth article of the constitution. An amendment is proposed by either two ways. The congress with a 2/3 vote of the House of Representatives and the Senate or by constitutional convention that is called by 3/4 of State Legislatures. The congress makes a joint resolution which is the proposed amendment. It does not go to the White House to be signed because the president does not have a constitutional roll in the amendment process. It is sent to the (OFR) or the Office of Federal Register. It is then sent to the Governor's of each state. They then send the proposed amendment to the State Legislatures.
How we ratify amendments
When a state ratifies an amendment, they send the (OFR) a certified copy of the state action. They examine it and makes sure its all good. They then transfer the document to the National Archives to be preserved. The amendment becomes part of the Constitution with a 3/4th vote of the states.
