Among many shameful parting shots from the outgoing president, Joe Biden forgot our Constitution only has 27 amendments and conjured the existence of a 28th.
On the Friday before Monday’s inauguration, Biden issued a declaration on social media and in a speech to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, asserting that the so-called Equal Rights Amendment, which has achieved ratification in only three states since being rejected in the 1970s, was the “law of the land — now!”
Even liberal outlets such as NPR and the Washington Post admit the declaration has no actual force, as the executive branch has no power over the amendment process. The archivist under Biden’s own administration did not certify the ERA, and according to reports, Biden did not order her to do so.
