It's important for political parties to have a majority in both the legislative houses, because America parties have become extremely partisan. Members of Congress are more likely to vote along with their party's political views rather than whether or not a bill is actually good for the country. They also tend to vote the opposite of the rival party, except in very rare cases. As a result, a majority in both houses, can lead to all that party's political bills being passed.
