Basically it would signifigantly lessen his power. Right now the Congress is Republican and they rubber stamp anything Bush wants. If either the House or Senate goes Democrat, it makes it much harder for him to pass legislation.
Another issue is investigation and accountability. Right now Republicans control that in the House and they won't investigate anything right now. Katrina, Iraq, etc. If Dems get power, they'll run tons of investigations into the mistakes that have been made.
Not much will change from a policy standpoint, probably much less crap happening and maybe the parties actually working together for once.
