That period of filibuster-proof control during Obama’s term is why we have the ACA. It was ~70 days and they passed the largest healthcare overhaul in generations.

Plus the ACA could have been better if it didn't need to get watered down for the one or two Dems/Independents that helped get it past that stupid filibuster roadblock.
