Do We Want a 'Lame Duck' Congress?

November 19, 1991

The article on term limitations for members of Congress is one of the most cogent I have read on this topic. There is one error, however. Roger Sherman was a delegate to the Federal Convention - to use the term of 1787. He represented Connecticut, not Rhode Island. The latter state sent no delegates and was the last of the original 13 states to ratify the Constitution. It did so, reluctantly, in November of 1790 - well into President Washington's second year in office.David Moon Berlin, Heights, Ohio Letters are welcome.
