Why would the president appoint people who are members of his same political party?
It is only natural for the President to appoint people who share his views on government and will work to carry out his programs. Such people are more likely to be found in his own party. A first term president needs to have party support to run for re-election and one way to gain support is through appointments. He may also need to repay people who have helped him get elected the first time by making them an ambassador.

a president typically believes in what his political party believes and stands for what they stand for. a president normally makes decisions that his party agrees with, though there is not written responsibility to one party or another if elected. if the president is a republican, then they do not HAVE TO do what the republican party would like them to do, though they typically do because they believe the same things. Same with the democrats. party distinguishment is more of a difference in what people believe is right and what they stand for

What will happen if president is in the political party?
Huh? Let's try answering a couple different questions. Understand that politics is all about the next election. If the president and both houses of Congress are in the same political party, and there are at least 60 senators from the president's party (which is what it takes to shut down a filibuster) things are done in Congress that the president will sign because the party wants to prove to the voters that it can accomplish the people's work. If any of the following are true: the president is from a different party than the one controlling either, or both, houses of Congress or there are less than 60 members of the president's party in the Senate then nothing gets done, so the other party can go to the voters and say, "pick us because my party can solve the problem of gridlock in government today."
