Sorry, I really couldn't say, going back 50 years...I do know much was made of the
'Democratic Congress'
during the Reagan years...but it seems most dems just laid down and let whatever the
Reagan admin want,
get...so while they may have nominally been in control during those years, they rarely
exercised it...
Not sure what the makeup of the Congress was during the Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford
admins...but I believe
that every Democratic administration also enjoyed a predominantly Democratic-majority
during their tenure...

Perhaps...but it is the administration in power which sets policy.
Even if there was a Democratic majority during Nixon's administration (and I'm not
sure there was), until the
Watergate scandal Nixon enjoyed basically unchallenged power. Prior to Watergate, the
only thing I know that
Congress and the public balked at was Nixon's desire to change the uniforms of the
White House
guards...remember the crazy design he wanted, better suited for a small Balkan country
perhaps? Congress
didn't call him on the carpet over continuing the war in Vietnam, neither did they do
anything substantive in
regards to his incursions into Cambodia...

The horses and the stables may try to undermine each other, but their owners encourage
this, so that the
public is given a show of a 'two party system' that in fact does not exist.
The bottom line is, you have the same backers putting money on ALL the horses in the
race...and they also put
their money into the 'up and comers' back in the stables...
