    Well that’s a standard no president since Jimmy Carter meets. And the Democrats used minority filibusters all the time in the 2000’s.

          Carter was a nuclear technician with a 15 year long political career fixated on privatizing the state and national economy. He inherited a peanut farm from his dying father and kept the business afloat precisely because he understood how to obtain cheap lines of credit. Carter wasn’t tilling soil in the 50s. He was a spreadsheets guy.
