Thus, the interests of the states, similar to how the German Federal Council is the representation of the federal states – but the similarities in the end.

On the contrary, if the President’s party also has a majority in the Senate – like Republicans during President Donald Trump – the president is more powerful. If Republicans in Trump put the majority in the House of Representatives, Trump may have “governed” a conscience. In the half -time elections for the year 2018, Democrats managed to win a majority there, with Trump at least one point. The House of Representatives also launched the official ceremony against it, but Republicans in the Senate prevented it.
