Congress can't pass an amendment, it's actually really difficult to do. It requires 2/3 of both the House and the Senate, and then 3/4 of the state legislatures. It only takes 13 states to block one.
There is one other way - 2/3 of state legislatures can vote to hold a constitutional convention. Any number of amendments could be proposed, but it still requires 3/4 of the states to approve them. That method has never been used.
