The priceless pages at D.C.’s National Archives tell the story of America’s birth. But did you know that inside the building itself, there’s another even more ancient story hidden in the walls and the floorboards?

President Joe Biden announced Friday that the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a ratified addition to the U.S. Constitution, making a symbolic statement that’s unlikely to alter a decades-long push for gender equality.

President Biden doesn’t appear to be resting during his final weekend in the White House. Instead, he’s pushing for a new amendment to the Constitution that would make the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) "the law of the land.

Legal experts called President Biden's announcement that the 28th Amendment was officially law "cynical and irrelevant" as well as "an embarrassingly pandering moment."

The National Archives told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday that it maintains its position that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is not part of the Constitution — even after President Joe Biden’s declared otherwise.

Robert George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, argued that the statement was a 'stunt' that carried no legal force.

The Senate joins the House in passing an amended version of the ERA with a seven-year deadline for states to ratify it. It states: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." Hawaii quickly becomes the first state to ratify.

To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the National Archivist who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.

The archivist and deputy archivist of the United States said in December that it cannot codify the 1970s Equal Rights Amendment because the deadline for ratification passed without enough votes.
