Several powers are reserved for the House of Representatives. These include: drafting appropriation bills, filing a case of impeachment against the President and electing a President if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote.

Under Article 1 Section 2 of the US Constitution US Representatives reserve the powers:

  • Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians no taxed, three fifths of all other persons.
  • The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

In Article 1 Section 7, the Constitution states:

  • All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

On the other hand, the Senate reserves the right to try all impeachments, affirm ambassadors, foreign officials, and judges, and approve treaties. Congress as a whole, however, under the Necessary and Proper Clause (Elastic Clause) in Article 1 Section 8, has the power:

  • To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into the Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
