Explanation:

Question 7

The power of Congress to remove an official from office is defined as impeachment. A declaration is a statement, a treaty is an agreement between nations, and trial by jury is a judicial process for determining guilt. So the correct option is c.

A two - house legislature is called bicameral. Unicameral means one - house, “Duel Legislature” is not a correct term, and Congress is the name of the US legislative body, not the term for a two - house legislature. So the correct option is b.

Congress uses the elastic clause (also known as the necessary and proper clause) to stretch its powers. Enumerated powers are the specific powers given to Congress, bills of attainder and ex post facto laws are prohibited. So the correct option is b.

Answer:

c. Impeachment
