Special powers of the House of Representatives:

Bringing charges against officials to remove them from office.

  • That process is called impeachment.

Choosing a president if the Electoral College results in a tie or no clear majority for one candidate.

  • This has occurred only twice in presidential election history. In the election of 1800, when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr had the same number of electoral votes, and Congress named Jefferson as President and Burr as Vice-President. In the 1824 election, votes were split between Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, William Crawford, and Henry Clay. Thugh Jackson had more electoral votes than any of the others, Congress voted for John Quincy Adams as President.

Creating bills that raise funds for government services.

The House of Representatives initiates funding bills for the budget, but then the Senate must approve also.
