The 20th Amendment (1933) could be called the "Lame Duck" amendment or the "January Inauguration" amendment, because its primary function was to move the new Congress date to January 3 and the Presidential inauguration date to January 20 (under the Constitution, both took place on March 4).
It reduced the time between the election of a new President and/or Congress and their installation in office.
