President Biden says he believes the amendment has met the requirements to be enshrined in the Constitution. Its history has been long and complex.

Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a ratified addition to the U.S. Constitution.

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.
