Explanation:

The government of the United States is divided by three powers (executive, legislative and judicial); The legislative power is divided by two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate; both chambers main function is to create laws, but they have outstanding differences.

The Senate is considered the upper house of the legislative system and they serve for six years, the Vice President is considered the official leader of the Senate, but since he is not always available, the Senate elects a President pro tempore, who acts as their leader on the Vice President's absence. The Senate has the power granted by the Constitution to approve treaties negotiated by the Executive branch (President), and to give their advice and consent to the President for the ratification process of those treaties.

The House of Representatives is considered the lower house of the legislative system and serve for two years, it is bigger than the Senate and their leader is called the Speaker of the House, who could become President if both the President and the Vice President died. The House of Representatives is granted the power to impeach the President, the Vice President and all public Officers, if the House approves charges, the Senate then opens an investigation to determine if the accused officer should be removed from his office.
