Yes.
Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution states,
"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided."
So technically, the Vice President has the duty to preside over the Senate, but this is not nearly as glamorous or powerful a job as it sounds. The President of the Senate merely rules on points of order and keeps deliberations going smoothly. Typically, the VP does not do this, and the job is generally reserved for freshmen Senators so that they can learn the rules of the Senate and parliamentary procedure.
The Vice President of the United States is also President of the U. S. Senate. However, the Senate log ago precluded the VP from exercising any real power in the chamber. The VP does little more than gavel the Senate to session. The Senate Majority Leader (and to some extant, the Minority Leader) is the most influential member of the body. Especially if the Majority Leader can convince at least 60 Senators to back his agenda.
Yes. The Constitution of the US specifies that the Vice-president shall serve as the President of the Senate. As such, he has the power to vote ,iif there is a tie vote, which is possible since there are an even number of Senator, and has actually on some important legislation.

It is more appropriate to say that the Vice-President of the United States has as one of his constitutional responsibilities to serve as President of the US Senate.
To be the president of the US Senate you must also be the vice-President of the United States.
The Vice President of the United States is also the President of the Senate. He is not a Senator and he can not vote unless there is a tie vote, in which case he can vote to break the tie if he wishes.
I think it may be the President pro tempore, as he is third in line if the President and the Vice President are killed or incapacitated.
Under the US Constitution, the Vice-President of the United States presides at the Senate and is thus the President of the Senate. If the Vice-President is not present, then the President Protempore of the Senate presides. The Majority Leader of the Senate is usually also the President Protem.
The vice president over sees the Senate and votes in case of an exact 50-50 tie in the senate. The position is called the president of the senate. Also, should the president die, or for any reason leave office, the vice president becomes president.
The Vice President is also President of the Senate
