That is a very sensible amendment.

Another needed Amendment is that congressional budgets in Presidential election years must fully fund the government until 1 month after the new president takes the oath of office and that no budgets can be passed during a presidents lame duck period.

This should also be applied to federal regulations as well.

These lame duck period shenanigans by both parties is infantile, foolish, crooked, and dangerous.

It may sound like a sensible amendment, but why limit it to pardons -- and why limit it to the president?

You could make the same case that nearly all of the powers of the president and Congress should be curtailed the same way.
