Heh, interesting thought. If anything, nothing will get done. Ever. If both sides want it their way and no other, then nothing will get done. Meanwhile, the country will crumble down around them. I'll wager that in the future, In the history books, They'll be a chapter on "The American Era", and the conclusion of the chapter that describes how the era ended. Amongst other factors, one of which that ill be listed was constant infighting and bickering which contributed to internal stagnation and crucial issues of the day not being resolved. I'd bet money on that acutally, but that's a bet i'll never get to collect on.
