Business As Usual Despite Republican Control of Congress?
The midterm elections returned the Republicans to control of the Senate after an eight-year hiatus. Not surprisingly, the Republicans were elected on platforms opposing President Obama's policies. The surprise may be that the Democratic agenda may continue to prevail.
President Obama continues to have veto power over any bills passed by Congress. Because Republicans do not have enough votes to override a Presidential veto, President Obama will still be able to block any bills with which he disagrees. Therefore, we can expect Congress to continue to be ineffective and remain at an impasse.
Even though it is unlikely congressional Democrats will be able to pass any bills, President Obama will be able to pursue his platforms and policies through executive action and increased enforcement of existing labor and employment laws. This is nothing new ' this has been a major part of President Obama's administration since he was first elected six years ago. But as a lame duck no longer worried about reelection or political ramifications, and with Congress controlled by the other party, President Obama may become unrestrained and he may use his executive powers and influence to implement his liberal policies ' possibly even more than in the past. Thus, paradoxically, the last two years of his administration may be his most liberal yet.
