As mentioned earlier, the Supreme Court held in Dillon that Congress can attach a deadline to a proposed amendment “as an incident of its power to designate the mode of ratification.” 256 U.S. at 376. That means that Congress’s power to set a ratification deadline comes directly from Article V. See U.S. Const. art. V (providing for ratification by state legislatures or conventions “as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress”); see also United States v. Sprague, 282 U.S. 716, 730 (1931) (“The choice . . . of the mode of ratification, lies in the sole discretion of Congress.”). The Archivist’s assessment of whether a proposed amendment “has been adopted[] according to the provisions of the Constitution,” 1 U.S.C. § 106b, should therefore include confirmation that the states ratified the amendment in accordance with any properly imposed ratification deadline. Because Congress derives its power to set a ratification deadline from Article V, it would be just as absurd for the Archivist to ignore such a deadline as it would be for him to ignore a violation of one of the conditions stated expressly in Article V. Contrary to Plaintiffs’ contention, the Archivist does not have to accept their ratifications as valid merely because they told him to.
