The vice president does not "run" the senate. However he is the president of the senate and can vote, if the senate vote is tied. In a way the senate majority leader can control the senate in that all bills can only reach the floor to be debated and voted on if he or she says so. Harry Reid, a democrat, now "controls" the senate

The Vice President becomes President if the President dies, becomes incapacitated (say, a stroke or an accident), or is otherwise unable to carry out their office.

("Pro tem" is a fancy, Latin way of saying "for now".)A Vice President can also run for President, when the President they served under prepares to leave office. Al Gore did this, as did George H.W.

A Vice President who takes over for a sitting President (like Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman and others) may choose to run for re-election.
