Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Section 3. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.
The Equal Rights Amendment has once again been put forth before Congress by Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York this year.
