President Biden should certify the ERA

Kate KellyProgressive Perspectives(TNS)

As the nation braces for Donald Trump’s second presidential term, advocates across the land are asking President Joe Biden to shield us from the looming threats to women’s safety and reproductive rights. This can be done with just 24 words: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

These words make up the primary clause of the Equal Rights Amendment, which has met all requirements for ratification and could immediately be recognized as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Under the law that governs how amendments get recognized, Biden can notify the archivist of the United States, who can then certify and publish it. This became possible in 2020, when Virginia became the 38th and final state needed to ratify the ERA.

1. Presidents don't certify Constitutional amendments.
2. That door closed years ago.
3. How DARE they talk about sex - are they biologists?

I was trying to figure out how Biden would certify the Earned Run Average.

Presidents don't certify Constitutional amendments.

Mr. Obama could.
