What are executive powers held by the Senate?
Technically, there are no executive powers held by the Senate. Executive powers are those held by the President of the United States. The powers that the Senate holds are: to try the President on impeachment, but not to impeach him, the power to approve treaties by a 2/3 vote and make amendments to already approved votes, and the power approve of the appoints of many government officials. The last power that our Senate holds is in declaring war. However, in most aspects of the government system, all powers are shared between the different branches of government. For example, the Senate may declare war, but the President is Commander-in-Chief and must share the decision making process. The Senate may also hold trials for it's own members if rules have been broken, but only four members have been successfully convicted of crimes and most resign before being dismissed from the Senate.
