The three powers that are assigned exclusively to the Senate are:

  1. Confirm Presidential appointments - The Senate has the authority to confirm or reject presidential appointments, including Cabinet members, federal judges, and ambassadors.

  2. Try cases of the impeachment of federal officials - The Senate is responsible for conducting the trial for federal officials impeached by the House of Representatives.

  3. Ratify treaties - The Senate must ratify treaties negotiated by the President before they become legally binding.

So, the correct selections are:

  • Confirm Presidential appointments
  • Try cases of the impeachment of federal officials
  • Ratify treaties
