Lameduck sessions: In the early days of our republic, after national elections were held, it would take a whole year before the new congress would be seated.
- A lot of this delay was due to considerations for travel, personal business, pace of life, and the technical constraints on all those. Later, as technology progressed we changed the time between election and seating of congress to the period from the November election to the following Jan, only two months, ---filled with holidays.
-Now, it is time to either change the time between election and the sitting of the new congress to one week, ...or passing a law that says that between the election of a new congress and the seating of that new congress, no laws can be passed by the old congress unless those new laws meet some set of national emergency requirenets. There was a reason why the people threw out the old congress
-Today, The people should be outraged at what's going on, yet we are not ---and the republicans are complicit in this travesty!!!! We have become a nation of sheep. Perhaps Jefferson was right on his ideas for nourishing the tree of liberty!
