The three-state strategy is an argument that the earlier 35 state Ratifications of the ERA are still valid and therefore only three more are needed in order to add the ERA to the Constitution, without Congress resubmitting it to state lawmakers.
The 35 Ratifications from state legislatures during the 1970s remain valid;Furthermore, Rescissions of prior ratifications were found to be unconstitutional. The 1978 extension of the ERA's deadline demonstrates that Congress can amend previously established deadlines and The Twenty-seventh Amendment's more than 202 year ratification period set a standard for a potentially indefinite timeline toward Ratification.
As the executive branch, please support the three-state strategy and campaign for it's successful ratification during your final term.
