Rarely has the United States been so neatly split as it is now. One party holds complete control of Congress while the other holds the presidency–a scenario that has happened only a quarter of the time since 1855.

In 2012, Barack Obama won 51 percent of the national vote. In the 2014 midterm elections, House Republicans captured 52 percent. The result has been a Newtonian moment: For every White House statement, there is an equal and opposite press release from the congressional GOP.
