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

  1. Try cases of the impeachment of federal officials - The Senate conducts the trial for officials impeached by the House of Representatives.

  2. Confirm Presidential appointments - The Senate has the authority to confirm or reject Presidential appointments to the federal judiciary, cabinet, and other key positions.

  3. Ratify treaties - The Senate must approve treaties negotiated by the President before they become effective.

So, the correct responses are:

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