A constitutional amendment giving people the right to vote goes a long way to preventing #scotus from further eroding our rights. Maybe it’s hard to accomplish nationally at the present with all the hyperpartisanship but we can start to work on it at the state level.

Is there a right to vote in your state’s constitution?

FairVoteRight to Vote Amendment - FairVoteVoting is an American principle and a basic democratic right that should be protected, promoted, and practiced, which is why […]

Why is there not more news coverage of the bill to add a #ConstitutionalAmendment to give the fascist in chief a third term??

Someone joked about Obama having a #3rdTerm and the right freaked the hell out but people are trying to make this real for the orange one and it’s like crickets.

CNBCConstitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the HousePresident Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of somehow serving a third term in office.

US lawmaker proposes constitutional amendment to give Trump third term: Rep. Andy Ogles, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, has put forward a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow the president to serve a third term. The amendment would limit the president to two consecutive four-year terms. “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times,… creebhills.com/2025/01/lawmake #Trump #ThirdTerm #ConstitutionalAmendment #Politics #USLaw

So, hunh?

"Biden said on August 26, Women's Equality Day, that he has 'long supported the ERA' and called on Congress 'to act swiftly to recognize ratification of the ERA and affirm the fundamental truth that all Americans should have equal rights and protections under the law.'

But by simply 'directing the archivist to publish the ERA,' said the lawmakers, Biden would 'leave an indelible mark on the history of this nation, demonstrating once again that your legacy is one of expanding rights, protecting freedoms, and securing a more inclusive future for all Americans. We urge you to take this final, transformative step toward ensuring the full promise of equality for every person in the United States.'"

I'm confused. For the ERA to become part of the US Constitution:
- Congress needs to recognize its (already achieved?) ratification?
- Biden needs to direct the National Archivist to publish it?
- Biden needs to ratify the Amendment in some other way, possibly involving a big rubber stamp that lives in a drawer of the Resolute Desk & reads "RATIFIED"?

One wonders if even THIS #SCotUS would be okay with #deporting American citizens?

When asked about the 14th Amendment ("birthright citizenship" making U.S. born slaves citizens), he suggested it "might have to be fixed".

You can't "edit" a #ConstitutionalAmendment. Prohibition (ironically, the "18th" Amendment) required passage of the (again ironically) "21st" Amendment to reverse it.

Likewise, we'd have to pass a 28th Amendment to repeal #BirthrightCitizenship. #PartyOfLincoln
