I read the post about proposing the draft for women with interest, just as I read through the comments in posts about Juneteenth. It’s amazing to me how much rage there is from some people about supporting equal rights for everyone— when those same people often seem to support equal responsibility for those whose rights are not fully assured.
I’m someone whose grandparents paid taxes to support schools and public amenities that they and their children were legally unable to use. Why does a country that supposedly values “justice for all” have so much difficulty actually practicing what we supposedly preach? |

| As PP stated you need to start from scratch. In drafting the amendment in this day and age defining a what a woman is would be a necessary part of the process. Good luck. |

The last POTUS declared it valid. That's sufficient. |

Article V of the United States Constitution outlines basic procedures for constitutional amendment. Congress may submit a proposed constitutional amendment to the states, if the proposed amendment language is approved by a two-thirds vote of both houses. Congress must call a convention for proposing amendments upon application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the states (i.e., 34 of 50 states). Amendments proposed by Congress or convention become valid only when ratified by the legislatures of, or conventions in, three-fourths of the states (i.e., 38 of 50 states) To date, Congress has submitted 33 amendment proposals to the states, 27 of which were ratified. Don’t see POTUS declared it valid as part of the actual process. |
