I don’t mean the actual rules of passing it, I mean what organization, activities and funding are necessary to do so.

The last one passed was in 1992 and it was just about congressional pay. Last one before that was 1971. Is there some kind of play book? It seems to happen so infrequently that it would be hard to study and conditions would vary enough that the last effort wouldn’t be useful as a model.

    If a single party could force thru amendments they halt all elections via amendment.

      exactly. there’s a reason we see more supreme court stacking these days than amendment campaigns.
