Republicans? when the Democrats control the Congress and Senate. What, does he think we are all morons.
As of 2007 the Democrats run both the House and the Senate.
Currently the
Democrats control the House and Senate. Democrats: 253, Republicans: 177, Independents: 0, Vacancies: 5. Senate: Democrats: 57, Republicans: 41,... So who is holding these issues up?http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/07/17/weekly-address-filibustering-recovery-obstructing-progress?utm_source=email&utm_medium=66&utm_content=graphic&utm_campaign=economy
The Democrats hold a majority in the Senate.
The Democrats hold a majority in the Senate.
At present, the Republicans have a majority in the House and the Democrat control the Senate.
Democratic
yeah
As of now, the Democrats in the US Senate lost 8 seats to the Republicans. There will be more Republicans in the Senate, now, than Democrats, meaning the the Republicans will control the Senate. They already control the House.
DEMOCRATS
No there are 57 Democrats, 41 Republicans and 2 Independents.
Right now, Democrats control the White House and the Senate, and Republicans control the House of Representatives.
The Republicans, who are now our Democrats.
The number of Republicans and Democrats in the House changes every 2 years. The current House of Representatives, of the 112th United States Congress, now seats 242 Republicans and 193 Democrats.
republicans
The 97th Congress (1981-1983) saw a relatively thin Republican majority in the Senate (53-46, so not enough for the 60% override) and a Democrat majority in the House. In the Senate, Republicans held the majority until 1987. From 1987-1995, the Democrats held control. Republicans regained the majority in 1995, which they held until 2001. The 107th Congress (2001-2003) saw a tie, with the Senate split 50-50. Republicans regaind a majority for the 108th and 109th Congresses (2003-2007), and then the Democrats had the majority in the 110th and will have it in the 111th. In the House, Democrats had the majority through both Reagan and Bush, Sr.'s Presidencies, until the Republicans gained the majority (in both the House and Senate) in 1995 (election of 1994). The Republicans ruled the Senate from 1995-2007. Now, the Democrats havea majority, and the recent election will see their majority through at least until January 2011.
The Republicans spend now and pay later. They borrow money to spend now. Democrats tax for money to spend now. It is called "pay as you go" by Democrats and "Tax and Spend" by Republicans who are "Borrow and Spend" players.
Historically, Republicans, now Democrats.
As of the end of September 2008, there were 199 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.
During much of President Bush's administration, congress was controlled by Republicans. That changed, however, with the 110-111 congress (Jan-04,2007 - Dec-22,2010), at which time, both the house and the senate now had a majority of Democrats. But although Barack Obama had a Democratic congress for the first year and a half of his presidency (Jan 2009 to Nov 2010), that changed in the 2010 midterm elections. Ever since Jan-05, 2011, the 112th congress was divided: it had a majority of Democrats in the Senate and a Republican majority in the House.
