The United States House and Senate kicked off the ‘lame duck’ session this week – that time between the election and the swearing-in of the new Congress. Historically, because outgoing Members are no longer accountable to their constituents and elections are as far off as possible, this is a time rife with mischief-making! With Republicans taking the majority in the House, Democrats are trying to push through their leftover agenda items hoping that Republicans are more likely to fold to get home to their families for the holidays.
