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."
