Importance of Partisan Control of Congress
Influence on the certification of results:-in the case of objections to electoral votes the majority party can influence the certification decision. A congress in political agreement with the president facilitates this step.Legislative power and political support:-easier to pass laws, vote on the budget and secure appointments if the president's party controls both houses.
