President Biden Last ad That the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was now the “law of the land” drew ridicule in his final days in office. Biden is not even safe from insults from Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
Vance responded to Biden's announcement in a post on X, joking that Biden should put up the disgraced late MLB symbol Pete Rose In the Baseball Hall of Fame.
“Hey Joe, if we're doing a fake—on our way out, can you announce Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame?” Vance wrote. “See you in two days!”
Rose, who died last September, was banned from the NBA for life for illegally betting on games.

Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer Pete Rose adjusts his hat as he takes the microphone during a pregame ceremony to unveil the bronze statue of Pete Rose that will be installed outside the stadium before the MLB National League game between the Cincinnati Reds and Los Angeles Dodgers at Great American Ball Park in Central Cincinnati, Saturday, June 17, 2017.

Roses are banned In 1989 after an investigation concluded that he not only gambled on MLB games, but went so far as to bet on games involving the Cincinnati Reds while he was managing the team.
Rose signed an agreement with Commissioner Bart Giamatti declaring him permanently ineligible to play baseball but allowing him to petition for reinstatement and avoid a formal declaration that he bets on baseball. Rose's numerous appeals to reinstate him over the past few decades have failed.
As a player, Rose won three World Series titles, two with the Reds and one with the Phillies, while making 17 All-Star Games and winning the NFL's Most Valuable Player Award in 1973. He is known to still hold the record for most hits in MLB history with 4256.

However, his betting scandal has made him one of the most controversial inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame since his retirement. His absence from the Hall of Fame is one of the most controversial controversies in the sport.
So Vance had no reservations about referencing Rose's famous Hall of Fame controversy to mock the outgoing president.
Citing the American Bar Association in the statement, Biden said the RTA “removed all hurdles necessary to be formally added to the Constitution.” Biden added He agreed with “the American Bar Association and with leading constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution.” However, despite Biden's argument, the National Archives disagreed.
