Abstract: The U.S. Congressional Elections brought about an important victory for the Republican party, increasing its majority in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives. This, however, does not automatically lead to enhanced cooperation between the White House and Capitol Hill. Just the opposite seems likely: we could see new conflicts between both sides on various issues, ranging from judicial nominations to tax policy. Accordingly, the success of the second Bush-Administration will depend on its ability to win support for its policies in Congress. (SWP Comments / SWP)
