You can help by expanding it.The National Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties of the United States of America, and has traditionally adopted a platform of economic conservatism and a social moderatism. The National Party as it stands today traces its roots back to William Clark, whom they consider their founder and icon. Traditionally, the National Party has been called "the party of the Presidency," due to the trend during the 20th century of the Nationalists dominating the executive branch of the United States government while their opposition, the Democratic Party, has been called "the party of the Congress," due to their dominance of the legislative branch. This has resulted in what is often called the "divided government theory" or the "enforced separation of powers," due to the tradition of separate ideologies in control of separate duties of the United States government. In the 112th Congress, however, the National Party holds majorities in both houses of Congress in opposition to President Bruce Springsteen, a Democrat.
