In his final week as president, Biden is using his bully pulpit to try to push forward the amendment that would enshrine sex equality in the U.S. Constitution.
With just days left in office, President Biden has said the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land.
President Joe Biden announced a major opinion Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment is ratified, enshrining its protections into the Constitution, a last-minute move that some believe could pave the way to bolstering reproductive rights.
Did Florida ever ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, the 1972 amendment that declared women equal under the law?
To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the National Archivist who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.
Sensible Americans consider the Equal Rights Amendment a long-dead relic, but its supporters, incredibly, are still trying to revive it.
US President Joe Biden used his 15-minute farewell address to offer a model for a peaceful transfer of power and — without mentioning Trump by name — raise concerns about his successor.

Joe Biden said Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment, designed to ensure equality before the law regardless of one's sex, is already part of the Constitution.
U.S. President Joe Biden called the Equal Rights Amendment "the law of the land," on Friday, backing an effort to enshrine the change into the U.S. Constitution even though it long ago failed to secure the approval of enough states to become an amendment.
But what matters, legal experts say, is what Biden didn’t do: He didn’t order the archivist of the United States to formally publish the amendment. And he didn’t direct the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel to withdraw its written opinion that the deadline for ratification expired long ago.
