The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was proposed in 1923 and passed by Congress in 1972, but it was never ratified by enough states to become law. The amendment aimed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. While no president officially "signed" the ERA into law, it was endorsed by President Richard Nixon, who supported its passage during his administration.
