And that is a good thing! Remember the Dumasrats controled both houses of congress the last two years of the Bush years too. I do not recall any vetoes either. It is not good when one party can ramrod their policies through without any input from the other party. A one party government does not represent the interest of all the people.

Therefore, a minority can control the majority in the Senate and stop any passage of a proposed bill.

How did Obamacare get passed, if a minority can stop any bill?

Wrong!! It takes 60 votes in the Senate to get a bill passed. Therefore, a minority can control the majority in the Senate and stop any passage of a proposed bill.
True, but for those two years Obama had more than 50 seats, meaning the Republicans did not have the 60 votes to stop a bill.
