Answer: Options A, B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

The legislative branch comprises of Senate and House of Representative. They are collectively known as the Congress. They exercise powers in law making, confirming presidential appointments from House and announcing wars (may vary depends on states).

However they only appoint the President in case there is a tie in the elections. The Senate is headed by the Vice President of U.S.A. Apart from appointing the President, the legislative branch also has the authority to charge the President.
