When has the President used the power to convene congress?
President Harry Truman convened Congress in the summer of 1948. Nineteen forty-eight was an election year. Truman, a Democrat, had been promoting many progressive and forward-thinking policies. The Republicans, in an attempt to appear progressive themselves, tried to outdo Truman by proposing policies that some said were borderline socialistic. Truman called their bluff. He convened Congress and told the Republicans to get busy and pass legislation implementing their party's policies. During the summer session, the Republicans failed to pass one single piece of legislation implementing any part of their policy.

What was the lame duck term?
The 'lame duck' term indicates the period in a presidency that the US President is no longer actively pushing through legislation or getting any major policies off the ground. Most commonly that happens when he is losing influence because he is sure to be on the way out, usually in the last one or two years of his second term when he can no longer be reelected. Another instance can be a period when the President has no majority in Congress and his opponents are actively working to block anything that might make him realize his plans and policies. It can also refer to the US Congress as an example. The current US Congress has a majority of Republicans and a majority of Democrats in the Senate. The newly elected Congress will have a majority in the Senate of Republicans and an overwhelming majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives.
