Step-by-step explanation:

President nominates federal officials, but the Senate confirms those nominations. Once Congress has passed a bill, the president has the power to veto that bill. In answering your question the Senate has the power to bring articles of impeachment against the president.

Mostly all these answer choices are wrong, but C would be the best choice.
