President Joe Biden's executive opinion on the Equal Rights Amendment comes in the final days of his presidency. Some local advocates wish he and Democrats had acted sooner.

As one of his last acts before leaving office, President Joe Biden said on Friday he believes that the Equal Rights Amendment has been officially ratified and therefore is now part of the U.S. Constitution.

If Biden really wanted to make the ERA the “law of the land,” he would have needed to direct the head of the National Archives to ignore the Department of Justice. But he didn't do that—or really anything for women's rights during his presidency.

This morning, Biden declared on X that “the Equal Rights Amendment is now the law of the land.” Well, there you have it: The Constitution has a 28th amendment, and women’s rights have been enshrined across the country. Or not. Biden can’t change the Constitution, because the Constitution doesn’t allow him to.

Let’s ensure that the principles of the ERA are not just words on paper, but are reflected in our workplaces, schools and community spaces.”

President Joe Biden has weighed in on the decades-long Equal Rights Amendment debate, but does his statement hold any weight? Experts say no.

“Equality is a fundamental promise of our democracy. That is why the Equal Rights Amendment belongs in our Constitution,” Harris said in a statement. “It makes our nation stronger, and it is the law of the land because the American people have spoken in states across our nation.”
