For Example under Bush DEMOCRATS RETAKE CONGRESS in 2006 midterm elections
Democrats went from 44 Senate seats to 51. Democrats went from 201 seats to 233 seats.
Democrats took control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time in a dozen years in the 2006 midterm elections, and President Bush and top Democrats quickly promised to get along despite a rancorous campaign.
