Supporters say it is needed to protect against discrimination. Opponents argue the timetable to have it become part of the Constitution has passed.

Biden said Republican-led states "really screwed up in terms of the way they handled their economy" in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.

Presidents have no direct role in approving constitutional amendments. So what could President Biden’s pronouncement recognizing a new one actually do?

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.

Did Florida ever ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, the 1972 amendment that declared women equal under the law?

President Joe Biden's administration said it will be up to President-elect Donald Trump to implement the ban on TikTok, which is set to take effect in two days after the Supreme Court upheld the law Friday.

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.

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.

The ERA is a 1970s-era prohibition on discrimination based on gender, guaranteeing men and women equal rights under the law.

Biden's pronouncement adding the ERA as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, is considered a symbolic statement unlikely to alter a decades-long push for gender equality.

The Trump administration added Cuba to the state sponsor of terror list days before the Republican left office in 2021 and it has remained there throughout the Biden administration. Just three other countries, Syria, Iran and North Korea, are currently on the State Department list.
