As President Donald Trump moves to overhaul the federal government with astonishing speed, he has wreaked havoc on one agency long known for its nonpartisanship and revered for its mission: the National Archives and Records Administration.
President Joe Biden’s declaration the Equal Rights Amendment is “the law of the land” likely only sets up more debates for Congress and the courts.
President-elect Donald Trump is promising to replace the head of the National Archives.
The archivist and deputy archivist of the United States have issued a rare joint statement to say that the 1970s-era Equal Rights Amendment cannot be certified without further action by Congress or the courts.
Conservationists at the National Archives are still working to clean up the building’s rotunda area after a pair of protesters dumped reddish powder Wednesday afternoon on the display case housing the original U.S. Constitution.
The National Archives building and galleries were evacuated after two protesters dumped powder on the protective casing around the U.S. Constitution.
First Lady Jill Biden saluted Colleen Shogan, the first woman to be sworn in as national archivist, saying that democracy’s power is “made real with access to history, unfiltered and uncensored.”.
President Joe Biden’s pick to head the National Archives is pledging to be a nonpartisan leader as she tries to allay concerns by Republicans considering her nomination.
