Question 7 • (2026-2027) Riggin -- American Government 2nd Nine Weeks (1st Semester) BLDG

Based on its role as outlined in the US Constitution, which function is most commonly carried out by the House of Representatives?

Answer
A
electing a president in a deadlock
B
impeaching a federal employee
C
reviewing Senate tax bills
D
creating laws

Explanation

The House of Representatives shares the legislative power of Congress, so creating laws is a function it carries out routinely. The House can also choose the president if no candidate wins a majority of electoral votes, but that happens only in a rare deadlock. Impeachment is limited to federal officials, not every federal employee, and reviewing Senate tax bills is not the House’s main role.
