The U.S. House of Representatives

What are the unique powers of the House?

The House has several exclusive constitutional powers: all revenue bills (taxes) must originate in the House, the House has the sole power to initiate impeachment proceedings against federal officials, and the House votes for the President if no candidate receives a majority of Electoral College votes. The House also elects its own Speaker, who sets the legislative agenda.
