Answer 1

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

1. Elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie - This is a power of the House.
2. Initiate revenue bills - Only the House can introduce bills related to taxation and revenue.
3. Impeach federal officials - The House has the exclusive authority to impeach federal officials.

The other options listed are powers that belong to the Senate or are shared responsibilities:

• Confirming Presidential appointments and ratifying treaties are powers of the Senate.
• The Senate also tries cases of impeachment after the House has impeached an official.

Therefore, the correct choices are:

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