A "gridlocked" government.
Divided government! :)
When one party controls the presidency while another party controls one or both houses of Congress, it often leads to a divided government. This situation can result in legislative gridlock, where passing laws becomes challenging due to differing political agendas. Compromise may be necessary for any significant legislation to advance, but it can also lead to increased partisan conflict and inefficiency in governance. Ultimately, this dynamic can affect policy-making and the implementation of the president's agenda.
Divided government occurs when one party controls the presidency while another party controls one or both chambers of Congress. In the United States, notable years of divided government include 1995-2001, when Republicans controlled Congress and Bill Clinton was president, and from 2001-2003, with George W. Bush in office and a Democratic Senate. More recently, divided government has been seen from 2019-2021, with Donald Trump as president and a Democratic House. Each instance reflects shifts in political power and voter preferences.

Divided government occurs when one political party controls the presidency while another party controls one or both houses of Congress. This division can lead to partisan gridlock, as differing political agendas and priorities may prevent cooperation on legislation. With each party often prioritizing its own goals, compromise becomes challenging, resulting in stalled policymaking and an inability to address pressing issues effectively. As a result, important legislation may be delayed or blocked entirely.
