Hundreds of proposed amendments to the United States Constitution are introduced during each session of the United States Congress .

[1] Collectively, members of the House and Senate typically propose around 200 amendments during each two-year term of Congress .

Some proposed amendments are introduced over and over again in different sessions of Congress. It is also common for a number of identical resolutions to be offered on issues that have widespread public and congressional support
