   2/3s of both houses have to pass a proposed amendment, followed by a vote of   
   3/4 of the states. Or, 2/3s of the state legislatures could ask Congress to   
   enact a constitutional convention.   
      
   With Trump's bluster of "Blue States Going Away", and his penchant for forcing   
   people to stop him from doing something, I wouldn't be surprised to see   
   something happen - or for him to appear as a write-in candidate, pre-written   
   in, or some such thing.
