The power to initiate appropriation bills
The power to indict.
Judges and treaties are the provence of the Senate.
And it takes 2 to tango to pass a bill.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control
Does anyone have any historical numbers for retirements from the US House before each election? I thought back in 2018 I saw something that suggested that for pretty much each election there are around 40 retirements from the House, but I can't seem to find the article.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control
That's an excellent question. I'll bet you could reverse engineer by finding the number of vacant seats at each election and then backing out the deaths.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control
I briefly considered that. But then I thought about people who didn't run for other reasons, like running for Senate or President, reasons that aren't strictly about retirement, and realized that while I was interested in the answer to my question, I wasn't that interested.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control
I think the interesting number isn't the total number of retirements but the R/D ratio. That seems to be an excellent leafing indicator of poll results. For example, in 2018 the House retirements were something like 4:1 R/D and the Rs got destroyed. It's early but right now I believe House retirements are something like 6:1 R/D.
