As mentioned below, the logic behind the rule is that the people vote specifically because of the supreme court. If there is a mismatch between president and senate in terms of not knowing what the political desire of the majority is, then you wait for the next election to see.
Eg. If the senate had flipped to democrats in 2018, you would wait to see if trump was rejected in 2020 by the voters too. But the republicans kept control of the senate, so there is no conflict.
Similarly, in the previous case, it was a democrat president but the senate had flipped to republican. So they waited to see the results in 2016. The people rejected the democrats.
I would like to see them ratify new amendments that puts in term limits for senators and congress, as well as upper bound age limits for all elected federal government roles. If you were to turn 80 or above while in office, you do not qualify
