Biden Declares Equal Rights Amendment as Law, But Certification Remains Unclear
President Biden announces the Equal Rights Amendment, reigniting debates over gender equality amid uncertainty about formal certification.
Overview
President Biden has declared the Equal Rights Amendment ‘the law of the land,’ amidst ongoing debates concerning its certification. Despite 38 state ratifications since 2020, the amendment lacks official recognition due to a congressional deadline dispute, eliciting calls for action from lawmakers and advocates. The National Archives insists further congressional or judicial action is necessary for certification. While proponents view Biden's declaration as a boost for gender equality, its practical impact remains uncertain as the issue may head to the Supreme Court.
