Which of the following is a power of the Senate? (1 point)

Question

• power to confirm appointments of state judges
• power to appoint ambassadors
• power to to file articles of impeachment
• power to confirm appointments of federal judges

Answer 1

The power of the Senate from the options provided is:

• power to confirm appointments of federal judges.

The Senate also has the power to confirm ambassadors, but the other two options (appointments of state judges and filing articles of impeachment) do not accurately represent Senate responsibilities. The House of Representatives has the power to file articles of impeachment.
