Biden faces backlash over tweet referencing nonexistent 28th Amendment

nypost.com

President Biden's recent tweet about the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has drawn criticism for incorrectly referencing a nonexistent 28th Amendment. The U.S. Constitution has only 27 amendments, with the last ratified in 1992. Biden claimed the ERA is "the law of the land" and has cleared all necessary hurdles for ratification. However, the National Archives stated that the ERA cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to legal and procedural issues. The tweet sparked mockery on social media, with users pointing out the error and questioning Biden's claims. A community note added context, clarifying that there is no 28th Amendment and the ERA has not been ratified.
