1. Only the Senate may validate and/or approve the signature/rejection of treaties.

2. The Senate is responsible for Impeachment Trials, once a bill of Impeachment is passed by the House.

3. The Senate must also give its consent in order for the country to legally declare war (ie: the House alone can't do it).

4. The Senate must confirm all Cabinet, Supreme Court, and Federal Court appointments, as well as all Ambassadorships. Andrew Johnson's placement of a cabinet-member who had been rejected by the Senate, at the time, was the direct cause of his own impeachment.

The function of a United States senator is to present and vote for legislation. A senator works in conjunction with the US House of Representatives to pass laws for the good of the people.

The Senate serves as a "check and balance". It ratifies treaties, tries impeachments, and elects the vice presidents when necessary.
