CAPITOL HILL REPORT

Removing the ERA Deadline is an
Ultimate Congressional Power Grab
November 14, 2019
While lawmakers fought in Longworth, one of the three House office buildings, about impeachment another contentious piece of legislation was being debated in Rayburn.

This was Representative Jackie Speier’s (D-CA) resolution, H.J. Res. 38 ([link removed]) , to remove the original deadline of the 1972 ERA proposal. As you might recall, the Equal Rights Amendment was sent to the states for ratification on March 22, 1972. 38 states needed to approve the amendment within seven years. In that time frame, only 35 states passed the ERA and Nebraska, Tennessee, Idaho, Kentucky, and South Dakota ultimately rescinded their ratifications.
