I've heard that the winner-take-all Electoral College system is what makes a two-party, rather than multiple-party, system. This does not in itself explain how this causes the Legislative Branch to be almost exclusively two party, as the Electoral College chooses the President only. We can look for different mechanisms in Congress.
