By the way, Trump's designated VP candidate has some strange views on things:

An amendment (added or changed) can be proposed by a 2/3rds vote in each house of congress (66 Senators + 290 Congressmen) or 2/3rds of the states (33 states). For the amendment to change or become codified it must then be ratified by 3/4 of the states (37 states) Legislatures or 3/4 of State conventions (these are the political delegates from both parties)called for that purpose.
So changing the constitution isn't quite as easy as overriding a Presidential veto.
While J.D Vance wouldn't have been my first choice I think he's the right man for the job at this point in time, He's young, and while he doesn't always agree with Trump their long term goals seem to mesh. Depending on his performance As VP, He could be a viable candidate for 2028.
