0:58

1:02
now there is somebody else in Washington
1:05
DC right now who's still making a clown
1:08
of himself as we as he heads towards the
1:11
exit that man is President Joe Biden and
1:14
he's
1:16
accompanied by vice president kamla
1:18
Harris those are things I don't have to
1:20
say anymore as of Monday I could put
1:22
former in front of that as of Monday and
1:24
it's going to feel so good but for right
1:27
now President and Vice President well
1:29
today in a fiery speech President Biden
1:33
declared the erra which was passed by
1:36
Congress in
1:37
1970s sent to the state for ratification
1:40
a new amendment to the Constitution the
1:42
28th Amendment Joe Biden announced that
1:45
it is passed it has everything it needs
1:48
to be ratified and then vice president
1:51
kamla Harris she wrote a post on
1:53
X saying it is now the 28th Amendment
1:57
and it's the law of the land well hold
1:59
on wait a minute that's not how
2:01
amendments work see just because the
2:04
President and Vice President say they
2:06
are new amendments to the Constitution
2:09
that doesn't make it so there's a long
2:11
arduous process to be considered an
2:15
amendment and the final part of that
2:17
process is the national
2:19
archist actually adds it to the
2:22
Constitution well the National Archive
2:24
says uh-uh it has not been ratified
2:27
don't know what you're talking about not
2:30
being added to the Constitution it will
2:32
probably prompt Court battles which I
2:34
think is the purpose of this but to
2:36
actually come out and and tell people
2:38
it's the law of land you are
2:40
deliberately printing
2:41
misinformation the vice president United
2:43
States the president United States are
2:45
deliberately misleading people and then
2:47
they want to say oh look it was the 28th
2:50
Amendment but Republicans took it away
2:51
and the problem is is that a lot of
2:53
people will believe that because they
2:54
don't know how the Constitution Works
2:57
Civics stopped being taught in schools a
3:00
long time ago and it's
3:02
unfortunate one president cannot give
3:04
you an amendment another president
3:06
cannot take it away the Constitution is
3:08
bigger than the presidency it doesn't
3:11
work that way they're not monarchs
3:13
they're not
3:14
dictators CNN did a pretty decent job of
3:17
explaining this and I'm going to let
3:19
them take it away I want you to watch
3:20
this video and let me know what you
3:22
think in the
3:24
comments in his final days in office
3:26
President Biden wants to ensure the
3:28
equal rights of M is the law of the land
3:31
and he's told the archist of the United
3:33
States to certify and publish it now
3:36
Congress approved the amendment more
3:37
than 50 years ago but it never became
3:40
part of the Constitution because all the
3:42
states didn't get on board in time CNN's
3:44
arlet signs is at the White House so
3:46
Arlette what can you tell us because
3:48
this is something that that will meet
3:50
legal challenges likely right it
3:53
certainly will Pamela and this has been
3:55
a long winding road for the Equal Rights
3:57
Amendment it is President Biden's belief
3:58
he said today that this is ratified that
4:01
it is the law of the land but there are
4:03
real questions about where this goes
4:05
next as you mentioned the Equal Rights
4:07
Amendment which enshrines Women's Rights
4:09
was passed in 1972 but it took decades
4:12
to actually get the necessary states to
4:15
ratify it it requires for a
4:17
constitutional amendment for three
4:19
quarters of the states to sign on and it
4:21
wasn't until 2020 when Virginia became
4:23
the 38th state to ratify this amendment
4:26
but then that's where part of this hits
4:28
a snag there was an initial deadline
4:29
line for ratification which was uh
4:32
passed and then uh also there are some
4:34
states who have since rescinded their
4:36
ratification but President Biden is
4:38
saying that he is siding with the
4:41
American Bar association's analysis with
4:43
which has determined that they have
4:45
cleared all legal hurdles to make the
4:48
Equal Rights Amendment a a
4:49
constitutional amendment President Biden
4:51
said it is long past time to recognize
4:53
the will of the American people in
4:55
keeping with my oath and duty to
4:56
Constitution and Country I affirm what I
4:58
believe and what three 4S of the states
5:00
have ratified the 28th Amendment is the
5:03
law of the land but this is simply
5:04
President Biden's opinion in order for
5:07
this to actually be a constitutional
5:09
amendment that would require the
5:10
archists of the US to go and publish
5:13
this and so far the National Archives is
5:15
saying that the legal pres precedent
5:18
really hasn't changed they said the
5:19
underlying legal and procedural issues
5:21
have not changed that there are
5:22
established legal judicial and
5:24
procedural decisions so they are not
5:25
making any changes at this time but
5:28
certainly there will be a lot of qu
5:29
questions about what this looks like
5:30
going forward and whether legal
5:32
challenges might ensue all right our lot
5:34
signs thank you so much clearly
5:36

5:37
statement as he leaves the White House
