President Joe Biden said Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment, first proposed in 1923, should be considered ratified and part of the U.S. Constitution.

This morning, Biden declared on X that “the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land.” Well, there you have it: The Constitution has a 28th amendment, and women’s rights have been enshrined across the country. Or not. Biden can’t change the Constitution, because the Constitution doesn’t allow him to.

The remarks were largely a symbolic gesture of support for a century-long campaign to enshrine gender equality in the Constitution. But advocates said they could add heft to a future legal fight.

US President Joe Biden opined Friday without legal effect that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which ensures equal rights on the basis of sex, has been added to the Constitution as the 28th

President Biden says he believes the amendment has met the requirements to be enshrined in the Constitution. Its history has been long and complex.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was correct when she said, before she passed, that the ERA deadline is expired, and this has to “start over.”

The struggle over the Equal Rights Amendment started more than a century ago when suffragist Alice Paul first proposed it shortly after the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.
