No one. It was empty until July 7, 2009.

(2) Regardless of how long there was a fillibuster-proof majority...unless the GOP defeated a proposed immigration bill by fillibuster, Obama cannot blame the GOP for killing immigration reform. He just can't. There has been no immigration reform because the Democrats didn't propose any such bill, not because of the GOP.

People should stop throwing around that democrats had the white house and majority in congress for two years or one year or 13 months. It isn't true. The dream act doesn't count as a proposed bill? The house passed a version of it in 2010. Reid proposed a version of it in 2011
