Republican .
Bill Clinton was the President in 1994. He was a democratic, but the Congress was majority republican, so he had trouble passing a democratic agenda.
Republican in both houses. Trent Lott was majority leader in Congress and Republicans had 55-45 majority in Senate.
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.
George HW Bush......aka, Bush 1.
This all depends on the Congress and the President. If the president's party has the majority in Congress, he generally works with the majority leaders to get his agenda through Congress. If the president's party is the minority party in Congress, he uses two tools: obstructionism from the minority leadership (the filibuster, and loading up bills with things the majority hates in an attempt to get them tabled), and the veto.
From 1994 until 2006, the Republican Party held a majority in both Houses of Congress. In 2006, that changed when the Democrats took the majority in both Houses.
Republican. It is one reason the Congress has done nothing. The Republican members decided to put up road blocks on bills and appointments. They have managed to stop bills and not compromise on issues.
