President Joe Biden released a statement Friday declaring that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) “has become part of our Constitution.”
Biden asserted that as of 2020, 38 states have ratified the amendment and stated it should now be recognized as “the law of the land,” according to a White House press release. The amendment is meant to ensure equal rights for men and women in the U.S., but some interpretations of the text have implied it would erase gender distinctions and grant abortion protections.
“The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment,” the White House statement reads. “I agree with the ABA and with leading legal constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution.”

“As Archivist and Deputy Archivist of the United States, it is our responsibility to uphold the integrity of the constitutional amendment process and ensure that changes to the Constitution are carried out in accordance with the law,” Archivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan and Deputy Archivist William J. Bosanko said in a statement in Dec. 2024. “At this time, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions.”

The amendment was passed by Congress in 1972 but failed to be ratified by the required three-quarters of states within the seven-year deadline.
Biden’s announcement was released as the president has only two full days remaining in office.

I'm sure Fledermauswas merely stating the truism that all living things must eventually die. Some sooner than others. Perhaps he was referring to the schedule.
Phooey to demented Joe, and to the bogus ERA!
I wonder if Joe will continue issuing orders and changing the Constitution after Trump is inaugurated.
Fuq off pedo joe.
Next up: Biden declares that presidential terms are for 6 years, not 4. So he’s got 2 more years to go.
6️⃣
Poor Mr. Trump. He’ll have to cancel all those inaugural invitations.
Yeah, that’s the ticket! LOL
LOL! But before Joe could do that, he’d need to actually read it.
