A conversation about immigration and impeachment

There were two times since 2008 that the Democrats had the majority in the House, Senate, and held the White House. One of those times was when President Obama was first elected, and one was when President Biden was first elected. Obama had a filibuster-proof majority for about a month in 2009 between the delayed seating of Senator Franken and the passing of Senator Ted Kennedy. During that time, Obama had prioritized saving the banking system and passing the Affordable Care Act. President Biden never had a filibuster-proof majority, but his party did have both the House and Senate from 2020–2022. But, keep in mind, he didn’t actually have a majority in the Senate during that time. It was 50–50, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie-breaking vote multiple times. He got some major legislation passed related to COVID and infrastructure, but wasn’t able to get anything immigration-related through with those thin majorities. <a href="https://jeffswift.medium.com/a-conversation-about-immigration-and-impeachment-1896ec142f1c">Website</a>
