What is a lame duck2007-11-24 21:21:31Answers:

A lame duck can refer to a president who has already been replaced...

For example, if President A was at the end of his term and President B won as president next term...

But the election was in November and the switch isn't until January or whatever.

So from Nov-Jan President A would be a 'lame duck' meaning no political power but he's still technically "president"

The expression "lame duck":

* Designates someone that is lazy

* Comes from the fact that horses suffering from emphysema, in the age of cavalry, were considered as "good for nothing"
