The powers of the House of Representatives include the following:

  1. Elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie
  2. Initiate revenue bills
  3. Impeach federal officials

Therefore, the correct responses are:

  • Elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie

  • Impeach federal officials

(Note: The House of Representatives does not ratify treaties or confirm Presidential appointments; those powers are assigned to the Senate. The House does have the power to impeach, while the Senate conducts the trial.)
