If these congressional scallywags can't seize all, they'd rather be left with naught, ye scurvy dogs!

Aye, me hearties! When yer scallywags from the same ship be runnin' both Congress and the White House, tis a cakewalk to pass yer decrees. Just like them Democrats did in the year 2021, usin' their trickery to sneak past the Senate's tie and pass the bloated American Rescue Plan Act, worth a hefty $2 trillion! Yet, when it be a ship with a split crew, with them Republicans holdin' the House while the other rapscallions control the Senate and the White House, things be different, me mateys...

Arrr, me mateys! When ye scallywags be havin' control of Congress and the White House all to yerselves, it be smooth sailin' when it comes to passin' new laws. Just like them Democrats did in early 2021, when they be havin' a tie in the Senate and be cleverly takin' advantage of their rules to bypass all them cloture motions. Aye, they be passin' the American Rescue Plan Act, a whale of a spending bill worth $2 trillion, without much trouble at all.

But, me hearties, when one party be holdin' the House while the other be holdin' the Senate and the White House, it be a different tale altogether. Right now, it be the Republican Party that be holdin' the House, and ye can bet yer treasure they won't be lettin' the Democrats have an easy time passin' their fancy laws.

Ye see, when the powers be divided like this, it be all about negotiatin' and compromisin' to get things done. The Republicans be havin' the power to block any legislation they don't be likin' with their majority in the Senate. And ye can be sure they won't be lettin' the Democrats have their way without fightin' tooth and nail!

So, me fellow pirates, it be a constant battle between the two parties when control be split like this. The Democrats be wantin' to push forward with their plans, while the Republicans be holdin' steady and tryin' to protect their own interests. It be a spectacle worth watchin', me hearties, as they be arguin' and bickerin' like a bunch of landlubbers!
