Who is the Presidential Pro Tempore of The Senate now in 2007?

The President Pro Tempore of the US Senate is the highest ranking Senator in the Senate, and the 2nd highest ranking official of the Senate (the Vice-President is the highest ranking official). Normally the Vice President is supposed to preside over the Senate, but in the Vice President's absence, the President Pro Tempore can preside over the Senate for the VP. However, in modern times, neither the VP or the President Pro Tempore presides - the duty is often delegated to Junior Senators to help them learn parliamentary procedure. Though the job is mandated by the Constitution, the President Pro Tempore is considered by many to be a largely ceremonial job. The President Pro Tempore is also 3rd in line in the succession to the presidency, after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. The current President Pro Tempore is Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii.

What role does the Vice President play in Congress?

The Vice President is the President of the Senate. While this job is often delegated to a Senator, to act as president pro tempore, the Vice President has the actual job. The responsibility of the President of the Senate, whether the VP or the president pro tempore, is to cast a deciding vote in cases of a tie. However, the VP can only cast a vote at that time, while the president pro tempore can vote in all occasions a normal senator can. Thus the president pro tempore essentially has 2 votes, with only one used in most cases.
