>> And none of the Republican Presidents ever had a Republican controlled congress. <<

1) Gee, having the same party controlling both houses of Congress didn't stop Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter from vetoing bills that weren't sufficently socialist enough for them.

2) Republicans Coolidge and Hoover veteod plenty of bills passed by a Republican controlled Congress. So did Ike during his first term.

Now there is an example to follow, Democrat's not repecting the division of power in the Constitution.

Hoover destroyed the Republican Party for a generation.

Ike lost the House which it took 50 years to get back.

I am not too sure about Coolidge, any evidence?
