An elected official whose successor has already been elected. The
official is often seen as having less influence with other politicians
due to their limited time left in office. Conversely, a lame duck is
free to make decisions that exercise their standard powers with little
fear of consequence, such as issuing executive orders, pardons, or other
controversial edicts. Lame duck politicians result from term limits,
planned retirement, or electoral losses.
