Answer

The answer is:

  • Confirming executive appointments
  • Holding impeachment trials
  • Approving international treaties
Explanation
Confirming executive appointments:

The Senate has the exclusive power to confirm executive appointments made by the President, such as Cabinet members, federal judges, and other high-ranking officials.

Holding impeachment trials:

While the House of Representatives has the power to impeach federal officials, the Senate holds the exclusive power to conduct impeachment trials and ultimately decide whether to convict and remove the official from office.

Originating bills that raise revenue:

This power is exclusive to the House of Representatives, not the Senate. According to the Constitution, all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House.

Appointing Supreme Court justices:

The President appoints Supreme Court justices, but the Senate has the power to confirm these appointments. The Senate does not have the power to appoint justices directly.

Approving international treaties:

The Senate has the exclusive power to approve international treaties negotiated by the President, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for ratification.
