The House and the Senate can only pass amendments to the Constitution if 3. the amendment receives a two-thirds vote.

Explanation:

The process whereby the Constitution of the United States can be altered is known as amendment and is defined in Article Five of the U. S. Constitution. As stated by this article, amendments may be proposed either by a convention of states called for by two-thirds of their legislatures or by the Congress through a two-thirds vote in the House of Representatives and the Senate. This amendment must then be ratified by the state legislatures.

This way to amend the Constitution consists of increasing the threshold of consent required compared to ordinary bills and legislature that are governed by majority vote.
