13300469, What is the purpose of lame duck sessions?
Posted by PimpTrickGangstaClik, Wed Dec-05-18 12:33 PM
Why are the new elected officials not put into place as soon as election results are certified?
It should be: presidential election on Nov 6th. Results certified Nov 10th. New President Nov 11th.

Is lame duck a relic of the horse and buggy days, or is there a legit reason for it?
