โThis would mean that the 116th Congress โ featuring a Democratic House majority that promised to be โa governing party, and to extend an arm of cooperation to the presidentโ โ started with the longest federal-government shutdown in U.S. history, impeached the president, got few if any major pieces of legislation passed, featured the speaker of the House tearing up a copy of the State of the Union address on live television, and ended with another government shutdown.โ
