According to sources, NATO is concerned that if Congress limits the US president's actions in domestic policy, he might seek to consolidate his influence in the foreign policy arena. Several sources have specifically pointed to the possibility of withdrawing several thousand more US troops from Europe. Congressional elections will take place on November 3, and the new composition of the House of Representatives and the fate of 35 Senate seats will be determined. Since 1946, the party occupying the White House has managed to gain additional seats in Congress during midterm elections only twice, in 1998 and 2002. The most significant loss occurred in 2010, when the Democrats lost 63 seats in the House and six seats in the Senate.
