Biden Falsely Declares States Ratified Equal Rights Amendment to Constitution

Biden Proved Wrong on ERA Amendment by National Archives, Community Notes

 
The eligibility for ratification long expired, according to the National Archives. Several states have also rescinded their ratification. Nevada voted to ratify the ERA in 2017, becoming the first state to do so since 1977. Thirty-eight states were required to ratify the amendment in order for it to pass, though that didn't happen until Virginia did so in January 2020, according to the Brennan Center. 
 
Further, in January 2022--during Biden's term--the Assistant Attorney General Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a memo for the Counsel to the President on the legal status for ratifying the ERA.
 
"Whether the ERA is part of the Constitution will be resolved not by an OLC opinion but by the courts and Congress. Indeed, the status of the ERA, including important questions about Congress’s role in the amendment process, is the subject of ongoing litigation, with additional lawsuits almost certain to be filed shortly," the memo from Christopher H. Schroeder read at one point.
