  • Kamala Harris on Monday performed her constitutional role as vice president to preside over the Jan. 6 proceedings to certify her 2024 presidential election loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

The article from Yahoo News discusses Vice President Kamala Harris's role in certifying the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) as part of the U.S. Constitution. On June 30, 2023, Harris, along with Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan, participated in a ceremony to certify the ERA, which aims to guarantee equal rights for all citizens regardless of sex. This action comes after a long-standing debate and legal battle over the ERA, which was initially passed by Congress in 1972 but failed to meet the original ratification deadline. Despite this, recent efforts by activists and some states have pushed for its recognition, arguing that the deadline was arbitrary and that the amendment has now been ratified by the necessary 38 states. However, the certification by Harris is largely symbolic as it does not change the legal status of the ERA due to ongoing legal challenges and the need for further Congressional action to remove the ratification deadline.
