Yes, for most of his presidency. He initially had large Democratic majorities for his first two years in the White House, but that changed after 1994, when the Republicans gained control of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1954. They remained in the majority for the rest of his presidency and that is why Clinton was successful.

Is it possible for the party of the president and the majority party of the congress to be different parties?
Yes, but the majority party (not of congress- just what is considered the majority party according to laws) is determined by the executive branch aka the president.The most recent example, while Bush was still in office the democrats took control of Congress, but the majority party of the country was still considered Republican. Currently our President (Obama) as well as the majority of Congress are Democrat but if at their next election Congress shifts to a majority of Republicans the country's majority party would still be considered the Democrats, because of the presidentAdded: The initial answer is incorrect. The majority party in Congress is ALWAYS the numerically superior party, regardless of WHO the President is. The President has nothing whatsoever to do with naming the majority party, the voters decide who it will be by putting more members of one party in office, rather than the other.
