While the Constitution provided information on the election, length of term, and duty as the head of the Senate, it did not outline the specific job duties of the Vice President. In the Constitution, the duties that are stated are, he will replace the president if the president can't complete his term, and he will serve as the President of the Senate, but won't vote unless a tiebreaker is needed.
