The Constitution grants greater formal power to Senators than House members.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Senators have greater formal power than House members as they have longer terms (six years compared to two years), serve smaller constituencies (entire states compared to districts), have the sole power to approve presidential nominations and ratify treaties, and are part of a smaller, more exclusive body that allows individual members to exercise greater influence.
