During the "Lame Duck Period", it was believed that because the current president is more focused on leaving, and the president-elect holds no authority, that national security would be at risk. It was popular opinion that without a direct leader the country would be more vulnerable.

How can you shorten your menstrual period naturally beside using the pill?

There is no way to shorten your menstrual period, certainly not naturally. For the record the pill doesn't shorten your menstrual period either, it works by stopping your menstrual cycles all together so you don't ovulate and thus don't menstruate - the bleeding women get on the pill isn't menstruation but a withdrawal bleed, it can be shorter but it is a totally different function.
