===Congressional Relations===

Obama has maintained tense relations with Congress throughout his term as President.  Each of his budgets have been voted down, and many of his judicial appointments have not come to a vote.  When Supreme Court Justice [[Antonin Scalia]] died on February 13, 2016, Obama made a point of addressing the nation to say that he would nominate a replacement, which drew criticism and rebuke from Republican Senators and Presidential candidates.  Obama executive action in areas such as immigration policy have drawn extensive criticism as infringing upon Congressional legislative powers.
