Up until fairly recently, the United States used the Goosian calendar, which didn't allow for the reduction of time. With the passing of the Lame Duck Amendment we now calculated time differently. This was excellent because in decreased the amount of time the losing president remained in office, to allow for the victorious president to take his rightful place. It is because of this that it is now the tradition for new presidents to say "thank DUCK" at inauguration ceremonies. In modern times people think they're saying the "F" word, but it is actually a tip-of-the-hat to the good ole days.
