Answer 1

He was stuck with a do nothing Republican Congress that fought every initiative he proposed. The 1948 election gave made a big difference with a net gain of 75 seats for the Democratic Congress. It also ousted 8 incumbent Republican Senators and picked up one open seat.

Answer 2

Truman's problem with Congress was the resistance he faced in implementing his domestic policy agenda, specifically his Fair Deal policies. He believed that Congress was too conservative and resistant to change, making it difficult for him to pass legislation related to economic reforms, civil rights, and social welfare programs. He also felt that the members of Congress were more concerned with their own political interests rather than the needs of the American people.
