The only way to repeal an amendment is via a new amendment. In addition, Congress does not have the power to do this. Amendments to the Constitution must be ratified in very specific ways. If I'm not mistaken, it would require something like 3/4 of the legislators within 3/4 of all state legislatures in order for this to go through.
