Answer 2

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.

Creating bills that raise funds for government services.

The first item, collecting money needed to fund the government, is in the domain of the Internal Revenue Service, which is part of the Department of the Treasury.

As for the item about reviewing tax bills, the order is the opposite of what is stated. Tax bills start in the House of Representatives, and are then sent to the Senate for review. Usually then there is is joint committee of House and Senate members that work out a compromise version of the bill before it goes up for approval before both full chambers of Congress.
