ETVT since 1992 Presidents have successfully achieved their aims.
A president who has effectively achieved their aims is one that achieves
much of the legislation and policies which they promised.
Factor 1:
Presidents since 1992 have been successful in achieving their legislative
agendas to varying degrees, particularly in relation to domestic policy.
Presidents who have a majority in Congress or have been able to build
partisan coalitions have been more effective in passing their policy
proposals.
For Example, Bush’s administration successfully implemented tax cuts of
$1.35 trillion, mainly to help the wealthy but nonetheless a key aim in the
first few months of his presidency in 2001.
Biden IRA 2022 - $1 trillion on energy, climate change and lowering
prescription drugs charges – both houses under control
(Success is subjective) - depends upon having a united government with
strong congressional support.
CA: Presidents have faced significant challenges in achieving their aims
due to partisan gridlock and political polarisation. Divided government,
where the presidency and Congress are controlled by different parties,
often leads to legislative gridlock and impedes the ability to pass major
policy initiatives.
This was evident during Clinton’s second term when he faced Republican
opposition in Congress, resulting in challenges in passing healthcare
reform and other key policy proposals. - key aim for the administration

Presidents have been able to achieve their immigration aims effectively,
particularly in terms of delivering on campaign promises. This has been
done using the presidents' formal powers – executive orders etc. And with
that therefore they can achieve their aims.
