The last time I would say the opposition party didn't intensely oppose the President was Reagan and before that was Eisenhower. In both cases, there was a unique reason for that
for Eisenhower, it was that he was a popular War Hero
For Reagan it was that large parts of the Democratic Caucus in the House and the Senate were Republican Lite.
The idea that there was intense opposition from congressional Democrats to Dubya in the couple of years after 9/11 is seriously laughable. A majority of Senate Democrats voted for the Iraq war.
So 2/8 years they didnt intensely oppose him but the other 6 (especially the last 4 and a half) the amount the Left opposed Bush was as intense as you can get.
They voted for his war.
They voted for his Medicare plan.
They voted for his tax cuts.
They voted for his education plan.
Bush got literally everything he ever asked for during his presidency, except for immigration reform - and in that case, it was his own party refusing to cooperate.
