As you know, President Biden, Kamala Harris and other Democrats are applauding the White House for creating a new constitutional amendment by way of a tweet on X (just as the Founders envisioned).
The desperate search for a "legacy" for Biden has reached new levels of embarrassment, even for this bunch:
Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified:

The people who called Trump an authoritarian threat to the Constitution and "democracy" bragging about making a constitutional amendment by tweet is pretty much the perfect way for them to wrap up this train wreck of an administration.
But now that the Dems seem to think Biden's set a precedent, let's see how great they think it is if the next president does something similar:
Trump can make constitutional amendments via twitter post now. Precedent has been set.

Looking forward to President Trump citing “the Biden rule” when he begins unilaterally changing the Constitution via social media posts. Biden truly is the gift that keeps on giving. https://t.co/pDY8SEphfv

Pass the popcorn! Maybe Trump should say he's getting rid of the 22nd Amendment via a Truth Social post so he can run for a third term in 2028.
Imagine how much Jim Acosta and John Harwood would be crying right now if Donald Trump just started declaring new amendments to the constitution like Joe Biden did today.

Just imagine.
Trump is going to have so much fun with this Presidential Amendment power.

For starters, just imagine what CNN's headline would be if Trump played the "I just made a new constitutional amendment" game. Instead for Biden we get this:
President Biden says Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution is ratified. An anticipated legal battle looms.https://t.co/cpHLkqgThT

CNN's headline if Trump did the same thing: Trump becomes dictator, nation in peril, democracy overthrown
