The Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, has several key powers and responsibilities as outlined by the Constitution. From the choices given, here are the ones that apply to the Legislative Branch:

1. Be elected to office over and over and over again - Members of Congress, which include members of both the House and the Senate, can indeed be re-elected multiple times as there are no term limits for Congress, although there are term limits for the President.

2. Create, alter or repeal laws - One of the primary functions of the Legislative Branch is to write, debate, and pass legislation.

3. Assess and regulate taxes - Congress has the power to levy and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.

4. Oversee the U.S. Government Printing Office - While not as commonly discussed as other powers, Congress does have oversight of the operations of the Government Publishing Office (formerly called the Government Printing Office).

5. Declare war - The Legislative Branch, specifically Congress, has the power to declare war. However, the question's specific instance of declaring war on China would involve numerous factors, including foreign policy, international law, and extensive consultation among the government's branches.

It is important to clarify that the Legislative Branch does not have the power to "coin money." This power is reserved for the U.S. Treasury, with the production of currency overseen by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for paper money and the United States Mint for coins.

The Legislative Branch can: - be elected to office over and over and over again (subject to specific terms of office and any term limits that may apply at state levels, but at the federal level, there are no term limits for Congress). - create, alter or repeal laws (as one of its primary functions). - assess and regulate taxes (as part of its power to raise revenue for the government). - oversee the U.S. Government Printing Office (though the day-to-day operations are handled by administrators, Congress has oversight). - declare war (although not specifically on China, the power to declare war is not country-specific).
