Article I, Section 7.
Clause 3: Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

Obviously a presidential veto would be pretty much useless since 2/3 would probably just repass the amendment, but I'm just wondering. With normal bills, even if it gets a 2/3 vote, it is presented to the president, right?

The President serves no role in ammending the Constitution.

It says every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary. While I realize a presidential veto would be worthless, it seems to me that it should be presented to him.

Anyway, I never thought he had anything to do with the process, and I don't think that he should, but my question is why?
