[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

The last POTUS declared it valid. That's sufficient. [/quote]

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.
