What are the special duties of the senate?

Answer 1

The US Senate is the upper house of the US Congress. Bills must be passed by a majority of both houses of Congress in order to become law. Except for revenue bills, bill can be introduced in either house.

The Senate alone must confirm most appointments of the President, including ambassadors, cabinet members, federal judges and other high-ranking positions.

The Senate must ratify any treaties made with foreign governments .

Answer 2

While the Senate shares legislative powers with the House, the Constitution also assigned it other special duties as part of the system of checks and balances. For example, the Senate shares certain executive powers with the president -- confirmation of appointments, including both executive branch officials and judicial branch nominees, and ratification of treaties. In addition the Senate shares power in the impeachment process -- the House has the power to bring charges against an accused official, while the Senate conducts the trial for removal from office. Following presidential elections, both the Senate and the House count the electoral votes. If the vice presidential candidate fails to win an electoral majority, the Senate decides the winner; the House chooses the president if no candidate wins an electoral majority in that race.
