The three powers assigned exclusively to the House of Representatives are:

2. Initiate revenue bills - The Constitution mandates that all revenue-raising bills must originate in the House.
3. Impeach federal officials - The House has the exclusive power to impeach federal officials, which means bringing charges against them.

Thus, the correct responses are:

• Elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie
• Initiate revenue bills
• Impeach federal officials
