Without knowing what years you are interested in, it's difficult to answer this question. But it should be noted that whichever party is in power, its leaders will try to alter the rules to give their party more opportunity to pass legislation. For example, when Republicans held the majority in congress, during the first six years of the presidency of George W. Bush, they supported policies that gave President Bush more authority. More often than not, whatever President Bush's priorities were, congress went along with them, and the leaders in congress used various House and Senate rules to marginalize any opposition by the Democratic minority. By controlling the application of congressional rules, Republican priorities got through congress more easily.
In fairness, at times in the past, there have also been Democratic presidents and members of congress who used the rules to shepherd their policies and priorities through the House and the Senate.
