Flood amendment As originally drafted and sent to the United States Congress , the New Mexico Constitution contained a number of limitations on the process for making amendments. These included a requirement of a two thirds vote of the legislature in order to propose amendments, that in addition to a bare majority, all amendments must be ratified by at least 40 of those voting in the election, with a 40 vote in at least half of the counties, and a limitation on the total number of amendments that could be submitted to the people per election.
