Biden declares Equal Rights Amendment ratified as law despite legal hurdles

dailymail.co.uk — January 17, 2025 at 05:01 PM UTC

President Joe Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has been ratified and should be recognized as law. The amendment prohibits discrimination based on sex and is considered the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Biden's declaration comes just days before the end of his presidency. However, the U.S. Archivist, Colleen Shogan, stated she cannot legally publish the ERA due to a Congressional deadline that remains enforceable. While Biden believes the necessary ratification hurdles have been met, the Archivist's position indicates that further Congressional or court action is needed to finalize the amendment's inclusion in the Constitution.
