A44th Amendment
B42nd Amendment
C43rd Amendment
D35th Amendment

Explanation

The 42nd Amendment (1976) had made ministerial advice binding on the President; the 44th Amendment (1978) inserted the proviso allowing the President to return the advice once for reconsideration. The 43rd, 35th and 7th Amendments did not touch this power. Hence the 44th Amendment.
