Wood chips come from the interior of a tree. This mulch is available as hardwood or softwood, or as a mixture. Hardwood mulches, according to Fine Gardening, will last a little longer than softwood mulches. Wood chips, in general, do not last as long in the landscape as bark mulches.
There have been more Republican presidents than Democratic presidents. Between 1789 and 2013, 43 people have been sworn into office as the president of the United States of America. Of these, a larger number have belonged to the Republican Party than have belonged to the Democratic Party.
In the outgoing Congress, Democrats have 44 seats in the Senate and are usually supported by two independents, while the Republicans hold 54 seats. Clinton would have needed four seats and a presidential victory to regain control of the chamber, with the vice-president casting a deciding vote in a deadlocked Senate. Clinton lost the presidency and Democrats lost those seats, as Democrats suffered staggering defeats across two branches of government.
