Divided government occurs when one party controls the presidency while another party controls one or both chambers of Congress. In the United States, notable years of divided government include 1995-2001, when Republicans controlled Congress and Bill Clinton was president, and from 2001-2003, with George W. Bush in office and a Democratic Senate. More recently, divided government has been seen from 2019-2021, with Donald Trump as president and a Democratic House. Each instance reflects shifts in political power and voter preferences.
