1 answer

The three powers of the House of Representatives are:

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

The House of Representatives does not have the power to ratify treaties, confirm Presidential appointments, or try cases of impeachment, as those powers are held by the Senate.
