LAME DUCK ACT WILL GO INTO EFFECT OCT. 15 Norris Amendment Rules Out Defeated Legislators. Bn Srrippu-Hovnrrl \rvupnprr Alliance WASHINGTON. Oct. 6 —On Oct. 15 obsequies for lame ducks will be In order. The lame duck amendment to the Constitution becomes effective on that date, ratified by all forty-eight states, and from that day on no man or woman will legislate for the j United States after he has been voted out in an election. Adoption of the Norris’ lame duck amendment was assured months ago I when the necessary thirty-six states ! ratified it. However, no state wanted j to have its signature missing on this I document. They kept right on rati- I lying. Florida's o. k. was the last j to reach the state department. Congressmen and their staffs get an additional month's rest this year because the lame duck amendment j moves the day on which congress convenes from the first Monday in December to the 3rd day of January, i Incidentally President Roosevelt ! gains another month in which to j continue his drive toward recovery unhampered by criticism from the \ legislators. President’s Term Is Short When President Roosevelt eventually leaves office, however, his term will have been shorter than that of any other FTesident if he fails of re- j election, and shorter than that of any two-term President iven if he is ■ re-elected in 1936. His successor j will be Inaugurated In January in- j stead of the traditional March 4. Congress must consider important new legislation this winter as a result of the amendment. For the j first time it is given the right to j determine by law who shall be Presi- ! dent if neither a President nor a Vice-President shall have been j chosen or shall have qualified at the beginning of a term. Election I,aw Set Out Though the situation has never arisen in our national history, law- j makers have long been bothered by j the possibility that a tie in the electoral college might throw elec- j tion of a President into the house of | representatives and election of a i Vice-President Into the senate, j where further ties might easily occur. Neither has there been any provision for the death or incapacity of both President and Vice-President-elect before the start of their terms.
