I thought u were saying Dems had control of Presidency and Congress for 12 of the last 16 years. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Thanks for the link, I checked it out.
Not sure why Bidens info isn't listed on their chart. Looking it over, it states that of the past 16 years, only half of the Obama 1st term, half of Trump 1st term, and half of Biden term, were party aligned. Logically that would suggest that the GOP hold of House and/or Senate will/might change during the 2nd half of the Trump 2nd term. So, in 16 years, no President has had both the House & Senate for 4 years. You have to go back to Jimmy Carter for the last President to have all 4 years and 50 years before that for a Republican with Coolidge. Part of the checks and balances, not much else to me can be derived for how that played into their Presidencies during the recent 16 years. Thanks again. newyorknewyork wrote:NYStateOfMind wrote:That wasn't the point, it was about Presidential influence during their term.
