Over 120 House Democrats are calling on President Joe Biden to conclude the process for adding the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution.
The push, spearheaded by outgoing Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), wants the lame duck president to urge the national archivist to treat the ERA—an amendment from 1923 that would extend specific constitutional protections on the basis of sex—as having been ratified, despite questions about whether such a move is legal.
