Just to be clear: the constitutional amendment has passed both houses with identical text, yes? It's only the legislative fix that the House still needs to approve?
No, the house needs to approve the whole thing, as it did not pass the house by the required supermajority.
Legislative fix does not need a supermajority? The amendment itself passed the House with the same text it has now.
The Amendment didn't pass the House, it failed due to only being a 5-3 vote which does not count as two thirds as it's two thirds of ALL SITTING MEMBERS.
oh wait I didn't realize this wasn't here after House passage. My bad, have not kept as close track on Congress as I used to lol.
