CAN the Constitution be so amended — by either of the means the Constitution allows for introducing amendments — as to ordain that the chambers of Congress vote jointly or together on the matter of introducing amendments to the Constitution? My plain answer is in the affirmative.

The powers of the branches and organs of government are apportioned by the Constitution, and the very same fundamental law provides how those powers are to be exercised. In our constitutional system, there are no peremptory principles that are immutable and that are beyond the reach of subsequent amendments to the Charter. I am not arguing about the construal of the constitutional provision on amendments as it now stands in our books. As regards the current provision, I share the positions expressed that 'three-fourths of all its members' has for its antecedent 'Congress' that Article VII defines as bicameral, and therefore should vote bicamerally!
