The three powers assigned exclusively to the Senate are:

  1. Elect the President in the event of an Electoral College tie
  2. Ratify treaties
  3. Confirm Presidential appointments

The other options are powers of the House of Representatives or not exclusive to the Senate. For example, initiating revenue bills is a power of the House, and impeaching federal officials is also primarily a responsibility of the House of Representatives.
