Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered part of the Constitution

The transcript discusses President Biden's declaration of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Despite the lack of formal executive power in the amendment process, Biden uses his platform to support the ERA, following Virginia's ratification. The National Archivist has not published the amendment due to a lapsed ratification deadline, which Biden argues is unconstitutional. Legal challenges and congressional actions are anticipated. In his final days in office, Biden also focuses on other significant actions, such as commuting sentences and addressing drug prices.
