Can the Republican Congress Get Anything Done? Winning the Senate put Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress, and leaders promised an end to gridlock. But the major accomplishment so far -- Keystone XL Pipeline approval — was vetoed and homeland security funding barely passed.

Can the Republicans actually govern? The answer could be crucial for next year's presidential election.
