When does a president usually experience a reduction of political power?

Presidents whose party controls Congress have the most power. If the President's party loses control of either house due to mid-term elections, or even if they lose several seats, the President's power is reduced. If the President should push hard for some piece of legislation and fail to get it passed he loses some power. If his veto is over-ridden he loses some clout. A retiring President loses power after the Presidential election, particularly if his party loses the election.

Who win in off year elections?

"Off year" elections - elections that are not held alongside so-called "big ticket" elections, like presidential or parliamentary general elections - are typically, in most nations, won by opposition parties. For a number of reasons, opposition parties usually fare better in off-year elections, chiefly as voters seek to register dis-satisfaction with the incumbent government. This can happen even to popular governments. In the UK's 1997 general election, Tony Blair's Labour Party was elected in a landslide with a 418 - 165 seat margin over the ruling Conservative Party in the House of Commons. Just two years later at the 1999 local elections, his party lost over 1,000 seats to the Conservative Party despite winning 40% of the vote (down from 43% in 1997). However, two years later in the main general election, his party was re-elected on a 413 - 166 seat margin - hardly any change from four years earlier.
