The Senate, as one house of Congress, has the powers outlined in Article I, section 8 of the Constitution. The Senate has several exclusive powers that are also mentioned in Article One. The Senate must approve treaties with other nations; major appointments of the President, like ambassadors and members of the federal judiciary, must be approved by the Senate; the Senate acts as the jury in impeachment cases and to be removed from office, the impeached officer must be convicted by a two-thirds vote in the Senate.
