The 20th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1933, primarily aimed to reduce the "lame duck" period for federal officials. It moved the start date of the President's and Vice President's terms from March 4 to January 20, and Congressional terms from March 4 to January 3. This change was intended to enhance government efficiency by ensuring that newly elected officials could assume office more swiftly after elections. Additionally, it addressed issues related to succession and continuity of government in case of a President's death or incapacitation.
