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 Constitution grants Congress the power to propose new amendments to the United States Constitution. The President, while having the power to sign or veto proposed amendments, cannot directly propose them. The Supreme Court also does not have the power to propose amendments. State governors may have the power to call for a convention to propose amendments, but ultimately it is up to Congress to propose and pass amendments.
