Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Truman, a vice president who rose to commander in chief after President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in 1945, didn’t simply beat his Republican opponent, New York Gov. Thomas Dewey, that year. His party also came roaring back to control. Democrats took 75 seats in the House that year and nine Senate seats, regaining majorities in both chambers and ending their sojourn in the political wilderness after Republicans had won joint control of Congress in the 1946 midterm elections.
“Instead, it’s been chaos and dysfunction and extremism,” he said. “And that compares to the track record of accomplishment under the leadership of President Biden, a historic Congress in the previous two years prior to this Congress starting, where we got things done.” “If you were given a job two years ago with the explicit goal of reducing illegal immigration, and then you sit around and do nothing while illegal immigration explodes to levels never seen before, you should be fired and replaced. Period,” the union posted.
Contrariwise, the House had a slim GOP majority that whittled down over time. At publication time, there were 220 Republicans, 212 Democrats, and three vacancies due to deaths and a resignation, according to the U.S. House of Representatives Press Gallery. “Congress just wrapped up its least productive year since the Great Depression, passing just 27 bills that were signed into law,” the cable website Spectrum News reported at the end of last year. “Of those 27, one law created a commemorative coin and two renamed medical centers.”
However, according to the numbers, some of that criticism turned out to be arguably misleading and premature.
