Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:

2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

MODERATORS
I got curious to see when the last time the democrats held power. We all know a single two year term isn’t long enough to accomplish anything before policy gets reverted.
House and Senate control history
Presidential terms
The last time it was two 2 year consecutive terms was the 110th and 111th session. (2007-2011;Bush2001-2009/Obama2009-2017)
Prior to that, there was a four 2 year consecutive term streak 100th to 103rd. (1987-1995;Reagan/Bush-HW/Clinton)
The longest control was 13 terms; 84th-96th session from 1955-1981.
