we must pressure all our republican reps and senators to back a law (and then a Constitutional Amendment) to end the two+ months lame duck session period, and have newly elected members take their seats immediately after the elections are declared valid. Or within a day or two of being declared the winner. We need to end lame duck sessions. I would also be in favor of this for the presidency as well.
This was done for logistical delays from over 230 years ago. We do not have such problems today, news and results are quickly available and travel is much faster. This is one part of the Constitution we can change without destroying original intent.
Couldn’t agree more. This session is the biggest farce that I can remember, it’s not what the Founding Fathers had in mind but many that are there could care less.
That's how it is done in the parlaimentary system; no reason why it cannot work here.
