Roosevelt will not serve four years as ' president on the stre:zth of his election | jon November 8. And there is no “catch” jin this statement. By the terms of the “lame duck” amendment to the Constitution, which will | certainly be ratified by the required nuim-j ber of states, the anministration of Mr. Roosevelt will end January 20, 1987, stead of March 4, as has been the custom NATIONAL EDITORIAL | in the past. MBR ASSOCIATION Thereby he will have the distinction of serving a shorter entire term than any other president, past or future. Beginning aepaiiiees ence January 20, 1937, the president will again serve four full years, Merhbers of congress will lose even more days at the expiration of their cur- rent terms, as the new amendment pro- vedi soaniad Betray cathe Of Sete coetoon toe $t | vides that in future a new congress _ shall Te ate oF it ectattaitimonin by ehurehes from which | take office on January 3, instead of March 4. Thus future congresses will meet 17 days before the new president is in- augurated. There is no doubt that the change provided by the new amendment is desir- able. Heretofore members of congress or- dinarily waited about 13 months after elec-4 tion before assuming their duties. In the meantime many who had been defeated continued to serve, these being called the lame ducks. Hereafter members elected in November will take office in January, and no member will continue to serve after his defeat at tie polls. The new amendment has been ratified already by the legislatures of 17 states, these representing all that have been in session since it was submitted. Practically all the remaining legislatures will meet in January, 1933, and prompt ratification by the additional 19 required is confidently Some folks are naturally bright; others | expected. In fact, it is doubtful that any state legislature will reject this sensible amendment.
