Subject: The ERA and Biden?
Can Biden actually do this? If so he absolutely should. It would be a nice end cap on his political career.

Taken from a few comments on the latest Joyce Vance Substack post - https://joycevance.substack.co...:

Hello Joyce. I know this is out of context but I want to introduce this idea into the mix asap. It looks like the ERA could be ratified if the National Archivist, Dr. Colleen J. Shogan, who is the first woman in this position signed it. And theoretically Biden could make that happen. That would go a looong way in girding for the next administration's shenanigans. Am I wrong?

According to the American Bar Association (The League of Women Voters, the American Association of University Women, the American Constitution Society, and 300 other organizations across the country) the ERA has successfully been ratified and the president – in one of his final acts in office – has the authority to direct the Archivist of the United States to certify and publish it as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. Article V of the Constitution, which sets out how the Constitution can be amended, does not say Congress can place a time limit on ratification (it is silent on the issue, although there is precedent), nor does it allow states to rescind their ratifications of an amendment, two issues raised by the opposition. Congress had placed a time limit for ratification and six states have rescinded their ratifications (Nebraska,Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky, North Dakota and South Dakota).

Correct Dale. I am an active American Bar Association (ABA) member. On 8/6/24 the ABA House of Delegates adopted a resolution declaring the Equal Rights of Amendment FULLY ratified as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
