Step-by-step explanation

The United States House of Representatives is a government entity that has 435 members, who are elected every two years in districts. The representatives are chosen proportionally by the populations reported in the decennial census of each state. One of the functions of the House of Representatives is the approval of the budget for public works that later go to the Senate to be reviewed. Another function is to remove officials, with the subsequent approval of the Senate for any trial or conviction. According to the above, the House of Representatives is in charge of approving the budget, so it has the function of increasing taxes in order to build a new interstate highway.
