Oh yeah it hasn’t been added to the constitution yet despite it being a thing proposed in the 1970’s. There’s a chance our next president here is going to undo one of the meager concessions obtained by the civil rights movement and spit on it’s legacy
Edit: Pls join protests and stuff, there was a march last week to try and pressure him into getting it included in the constitution but it’s been basically erased from media
It did happen, in 2020 while Trump was president. Virginia was the 38th state to ratify it. It’s been three years and the administration has not added it to the constitution despite it meeting the requirements
Oh, didn’t know. The fact that it’s not automatically added to the Constitution after getting enough states to ratify it is some real great democracy. Of course we need the ghoul in charge to let us have the thing we approved.
There’s a bit of constitutional debate over whether it meets the requirements, because some states alleged their ratifications could expire or be repealed, and obviously the libs will just side with the conservatives, just like the constitutional debate about Trump being ineligible for office due to the “insurrection” according to 14th Amendment
And as someone else mentioned there was a time limit that the archivist is hem-hawing over too. It’s kind of just a bullshit thing though that Dems are respecting because of “law and order”
