If, by a fat chance, Congress actually pushes something up to obama, he vetoes it. It goes back. The Republicans don't have the majority and can't push it through.
This is unlike the last 2 years of Bush where the Democrats had the majority and the first two years of Obama where the Democrats had the majority. Unfortunately, Bush did banter with them and they got what they wanted. They (Democrats) effed everything up and it's still going on because everything is STALLED.

Republicans have a majority in both the House and the Senate. They don't have a veto proof super majority, but yes, they most certainly do have a majority and still manage to get next to nothing done..
