Who has the power to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution?

President.
Supreme Court.
Congress.
State governors.

The correct answer is: Congress.

The correct answer is Congress. Both the President and the state governors do not have the power to propose new amendments to the Constitution. The Supreme Court can only interpret the Constitution, not propose amendments. Only Congress, specifically the House of Representatives and the Senate, have the power to propose new amendments. This power is granted to them by Article V of the Constitution.
