There were more .epublicans in the the Senate and and in the House too. So you have a Democratic President, but in the House & Senate you have more Republicans. So the Republicans over rule. The American people vote for these people to get elected. This last election both Democratics control the House & Senate, but we still have a Republican President, who does not know how to run the country. He's completely out of touch with people like you and me, and favors the wealthy & rich people and rich companies.
