Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Question 5: In Congress, most bills die in committee as they never get out. Committees review and decide the fate of bills.
  • Question 6: Standing committees do most of the work on bills in Congress. They review, amend, and prepare bills for floor consideration.
  • Question 7: When House and Senate pass different bill versions, a conference committee is appointed to resolve differences.
  • Question 8: The Constitution allows the House to impeach and the Senate to remove the President for treason.
  • Question 9: Closing post - offices (not explicitly stated in the Constitution) is an implied power. Raising taxes (A) is an expressed power (Taxing and Spending Clause), declaring war (C) is an expressed power (Article I, Section 8), and investigations (B) can be seen as part of oversight (but more of an inherent power in some views, while closing post - offices is a better example of implied power as it's based on the Necessary and Proper Clause).
