Question: 1 / 400

What is one power of the US Senate?

Pass executive orders

Declare war

Impeach government officials

The US Senate does not have the power to pass executive orders, which is a power reserved for the President. While the Senate does have a role in the declaration of war, this power is shared with the House of Representatives and requires approval from both chambers of Congress. Similarly, the Senate does not have the power to sign bills into law, as this is a responsibility of the President. The Senate does have the power to impeach government officials, as outlined in the US Constitution. This power allows the Senate to bring charges against high-ranking government officials, including the President, Vice President, and federal judges. However, impeachment is only the first step in the process of removing an official from office and does not necessarily result in their removal. Therefore, the correct answer is C Impeach government officials.
