The Senate has more than two powers, but a few of the powers they have that no other branch of the Federal Gov't has are:

The important powers of the Legislative Branch are that the Congress can appropriate funds, impeach the president, can override veto, can impeach judges, can reject appointment of judges, and they can reject presidential appointments and refuse to approve treaties.

The House of Representatives has 425 voting members, and the Senate consists of 100 senators, two from each state. So, overall, Congress's two primary functions are to make the nation's laws and to control government spending. They sure do obtain a lot of power!
