Quote:And, failing that, congress can initiate the amendment process. The SC has no power over amendments which are constitutional by definition.I was curious roughly how long it takes from the time an amendment is proposed till the time it is accepted. So I looked it up on

I should point out that I recognize that this is the exception and not the rule. Generally it only takes a couple of years.
