| Did You Hear About the Inauguration? |
|
Presidents used to take office March 4th, but during the previous Depression, Roosevelt got it moved up to Jan 20th in 1933 by amending the Constitution, reducing the lame duck period.
On NPR Sunday morning, Daniel Shore proposed moving Inauguration Day up. To November 10th!

| 2. Bad idea. In a close election you need time to do a recount. |

| 3. Hey, if it stops Bush from bombing every country possible |

leaving a giant cesspool of shit for Obama to deal with, I'm all for it. I don't think there will need to be a recount. Something tells me we'll know who the next President is going to be by midnight Western time.

It's 20 less days for the lame duck to quack things up.
