The non-legislative powers Constitutional Amendments Electoral duties Impeachment Executive powers Investigatory power

Electoral Duties The 12th Amendment says that if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes for President, the Hor, voting by states, must decide the issue. (has been used twice) The Senate must also choose a vice president when no candidate wins a majority of the electoral votes. The vote is not by states but by individual senators. (has been used once) The 25th Amendment provides for the filling of a vacancy in the vice presidency. The president nominates a successor, subject to a majority vote in both houses of congress. (has been used twice)

Impeachment The house has the sole power of impeachment, to accuse or bring charges. The senate has the sole power to try, to judge, sit as a court in impeachment cases Impeachment requires only a majority vote in the house; conviction requires a 2/3 vote in the senate. The penalty for conviction is removal from office. 17 impeachments, 2 were presidents (Andrew Johnson and bill Clinton) the rest were federal judges. 7 federal judges have been removed from office.

Executive powers All major appointments made by the President must be confirmed by the senate by a majority vote, The president makes treaties “by and with the advice and consent of the senate,… provided two thirds of the senators present concur.”

Investigatory power Congress has the power to investigate any matter that falls within the scope of its legislative powers. Congress exercises this authority through its standing committees, and their subcommittees, and often through special committees, as well.
