During Richard Nixon's presidency, which lasted from 1969 to 1974, the Senate was controlled by the Democratic Party for most of that time. The Democrats held the majority in the Senate from 1969 until early 1973, after which the Republicans briefly gained control. However, by the end of Nixon's presidency, the Democrats regained control of the Senate.
During Obama's first term, the Democratic Party controlled both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
