The term “lame duck” originated as a description of stockbrokers in 1700s England who could not pay off their debts. The name later carried over to those in business that would continue to do business while known to be bankrupt. Before the ratification of the 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution, Congress had a 13-month delay between election day and the day the newly elected officials took office. In other words, the lame-duck was given a 13-month termination notice, crippling their influence. Hence the ‘lame’ or injured duck. The same applied to the president. The 20th Amendment changed the date the newly elected president took office from March 4th to January 20th. During a lame-duck session, members of Congress are no longer accountable to their constituents. Their focus can switch to more personal gain instead of acting on behalf of their constituents with an eye toward re-election. The 20th Amendment shortened this period from 13 months to 2 months. While lame-duck sessions still occur (20 such sessions have occurred since the amendment took effect in 1935), there is less time for sweeping legislation to be approved. Even so, lame-duck Congresses have declared war, impeached a president, censured a senator, and passed the Homeland Security Act, among other actions...National Lame Duck Day commemorates the date in 1933 that the U.S. Secretary of State proclaimed the 20th Amendment ratified.” #NationalLameDuckDay (at Darlington, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-l0u2DtUU/?igshid=i9mdy1cqmtm7
