1. IMO, false choice.

The House controls the pursestrings.
The Senate controls the federal judges.
The WH can bypass the House and Senate via Executive Orders.

Best: All three branches
Second Best: The House and the Senate with a Super Majority

2. Thought exercise.

3. it's interesting that WH is winning (with very small sample size)

Biden in the WH without the Senate or House... whoo hooo... that would be a nightmare.

5. exactly

it would be like President Obama without the house and Senate but 10 times worse.

4. Per the GOP, the president holds king-like powers now. Nt

9. True

But they only apply when there's Republican occupying the throne ro- I mean Oval Office because of... reasons.

6. obviously the Senate as stops all federal judgeship appointments

[Democrats Ascendant]

7. Senate

Terms are longer, plus apparently you can just make up rules whenever, obstruct whatever, or do nothing at all if the other party has the House and Executive....

8. Senate

[Squinch]

10. Nitpick: the House and Senate are the same branch. Legislative.

[In It to Win It]

12. You beat me to it

[Demovictory9]

13. oops

[Voltaire2]

11. The senate can block or confirm all SC nominations

So if it is only one branch - I'm going with senate.
