How it feels

This short comedy film pokes fun at President Bill Clinton being seen as a lame duck. It exaggerates that idea to a ridiculous degree for laughs at a White House dinner.

What happens

The Final Days is a humorous short film produced by the White House to screen at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner in April 2000. It stars then-President of the United States Bill Clinton as himself. The film was designed by officials of the outgoing Clinton administration to neutralize media portrayals of Bill Clinton as a "lame duck" president by exaggerating that narrative to the point of absurdity.
