exclusive powers to the house

Cards (3)

  • The House has the exclusive power to impeach, meaning it can bring charges against a public official for "high crimes and misdemeanours," but not remove them from office.
    • The House has the power of the purse - the power to begin all money bills.
    • The House has the power to elect the president if no one candidate receives more than 50% of the electoral college votes (this has happened in 1800 and 1824).
