Lobbying by lobbyists happens all the time. There is no set time or day. The term "lobbyist " comes from President Grants terms in office. Each after noon he would visit an hotel in Washington not far from the White House to have a bourbon and cigar. While sitting there people would approach him with issues they wanted him to address. Since he was in the lobby of the hotel the people who talked with Grant were soon called "lobbyists."
