He’s committed to passing the mic to women to show he respects the diversity of their opinions (except when he doesn’t).

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.
