Summary
Description Combined--Control of the U.S. House of Representatives - Control of the U.S. Senate.png |
English:
Graph of Control of the U.S. Senate (top - see
expanded graph
) and House of Representatives (bottom - see
expanded graph
) from 1855-2015, including control of the Executive (middle bar - see
expanded detailed graph of President election history
).
Senate rules also require a 3/5ths (60%) supermajority for ending a filibuster through cloture. Prior to 1975, the requirement was a 2/3rds supermajority. The most powerful position a party can be in is to hold a 2/3rds supermajority in both the House and Senate, along with holding the Presidency. This has been a rare occurrence for either party in both the 1800s and 1900s. Neither party has yet achieved this so far in the 2000s.
