Their are 100 memebrs of the US senate, 2 from every state. The politcal party breakdown is 57 democrats, 41 republicans, and 2 independents (although they act and vote similar to the democrats). The constitution does say that the VP is the presiding officer of the senate..... but only to break ties..... when the VP is not present, the president pro-tempore takes his place. The president pro tempore, although without voting privledges, presides over the overall function of the senate. The parties (democrat and republican) are also headed by their party leaders. To futher break things down the senate has committees (which is were most bills start). Their are 16 standing (or permanent) committees in the senate.
