Not ironic at all, it&#x27;s a common occurrence in mid-terms for the party opposing the president to do better.<p>You seem to be calling holding a majority in the House and Senate a &quot;super majority,&quot; that&#x27;s not what a super majority is. Generally in the U.S. federal government a supermajority requires 2&#x2F;3rds in the respective body (e.g. a party holding 67 seats in the Senate would have a supermajority there) [0]. Senate rules also make 60 seats a magic number to reach on many votes but one party hasn&#x27;t held that many seats since 1979.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supermajority#Federal_government" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Supermajority#Federal_governme...</a>
