Lame Duck
A challenge to politicians is the period when they are lame ducks. They have either been voted out of office, voluntarily stepped down or are near the end of their final term. They can propose changes but legislators can wait them out or vote them down without repercussion. The bureaucracy has turned against them in their final days, and there is nothing they can do about it. About the best they can accomplish is publicity events designed to enhance their legacy. It is a humiliating time for pols but one they cannot avoid unless they die in office.
