SENATE BILL: Shorten Lame Duck Terms amendment (Sent To the Regions)

[Lumine]

For the opinions expressed before, I'm not a fan of ending the lame duck period entirely. Shortening it to a week might be a good idea (the administration is supposed to have enacted the agenda by then, and remaining bills could be dealt with in a week instead of two), but we need to have a lame duck period in case we have legal troubles and to allow for a more coordinated transition. I wonder how the current presidential candidates feel about this, though...

Aye.

Before we do are there any problems or contigencies that need to be considered. I am thinking with regards to December for instance? That last Friday is going to be somewhere between Christmas and New Years and also the lection is earlier that monthi f I am not mistaken.

Well, the election is scheduled for December 11-14, and the President would end up taking office in December 26, with twelve days of lame duck period. Perhaps we should push the election back a week to keep it in line with the proposal?

[Lumine]

Aye.
