Here's how this works: for each congress, points are allocated. 2 if the president's party controls both, 1 if its split, and 0 if both are opposition. 0 points for the most opposition, 4 points for the most agreement. For two term presidencies, the points are divided by two to get an even playing field with one term presidencies. For example: Obama had both the house and senate the first congress, just the senate the 2nd and 3rd congress, and none in the 4th. 2+1+1 = 4. Because its a two term presidency, the number is divided by two, so it would be 2.
Buchanan: 3 Lincoln: 4 Johnson: 0 Grant: 3.5 Hayes: 1 Garfield/Arthur: 3 Cleveland: 2 Harrison: 3 McKinley: 4 Roosevelt: 4 Taft: 3 Wilson: 2.5 Harding: 4 Coolidge: 4 Hoover: 4 Roosevelt: 4 Truman: 3 Eisenhower: 1 Kennedy: 4 Johnson: 4 Nixon: 0 Ford: 0 Carter: 4 Reagan: 1.5 Bush: 0 Clinton: 1 Bush: 2.5 Obama: 2
