48th Congress begins lame-duck session

As the transition to the 49th Congress begins, and the countdown to Inauguration Day is on, a lame-duck administration with few real accomplishments to its credit continues in office for about 10 more weeks. If that seems familiar, it is just like the U.S. between Nov. 4, 2008 and Jan. 20, 2009.

Having returned from its pre-election recess, the first item on the 4·XLVIII order paper was to certify the results of the election as official, following a re-count that awarded one more seat to the Jungle Party.

49th Congress-elect seat allocations by precinct and party.

Before the 48th Congress is adjourned sine die, the lame-duck session will have to ratify Patria's 2010-11 budget, deliver the final report of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and take care of a number of other legislative loose ends, e.g. legislation to further implement Patria's virtual legalization of all non-medical recreational drugs.
