White House Pushing Lame Duck Protection Bill through Congress

The White House is lobbying hard for passage of the Lame Duck Protection Act, a bill currently in committee in the lower house that would make hunting for, shooting at, laughing at, jeering at, looking askance at, or misquoting lame ducks a felony offense.

The lame duck (anas claudae) is the rarest of American waterfowl. There is only one every four or eight years.
