I guess I was wrong when I posted how difficult it is to pass a Constitutional Amendment.  Looks like you just need a president willing to declare it so.

Statement from President Joe Biden
on the Equal Rights Amendment

Well, NO!

The issue has long been the subject of legal controversy. In 2020,
the national archivist — who is charged with making constitutional
amendments official — declined to certify the amendment, citing an
opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. The
department said it considered the ERA to be expired after a 1982
ratification deadline was missed. In 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel
released an opinion affirming that 2020 decision.
......
Last month, Shogan reiterated that Congress and the courts would
need to take further action to lift the deadline for the amendment to
be ratified — arguing that the Archives could not legally certify and
publish the ERA.

While Biden's statement doesn't put the ERA into the Constitution, it
does raise new legal questions in the ERA push, says Martha Davis,
professor at Northeastern University School of Law.

This is how dictators and tyrants act.  Ignore the actual law -- the law is whatever the President says it is.

Where are all those who called trump a dictator or fascist?
