For a member to say, 'I'm a lame duck' violates political sc

Summary

This quote suggests that it is contradictory for a member to identify themselves as a "lame duck" in the realm of political science. In political science 101, the concept and term "lame duck" often refer to a government official or leader who is nearing the end of their term and has limited power or influence. By acknowledging oneself as a "lame duck," the member essentially admits to the lack of authority and diminishes their credibility within the field of politics. This quote implies that this self-identification contradicts the fundamental principles and understanding of political science.
