What is the only occasion in which the Senate majority leader gets to vote on the floor of the Senate?
The Majority Leader of the US Senate, as a sitting member of the Senate, has the right to vote on any measure pending before the Senate. Senator Harry Reid, the current Majority Leader, did not lose his right to vote when selected to his post of Majority Leader. A similar situation exists in the House of Representatives, where the Speaker of the House retains the right to vote. Perhaps you are referring to the right of the Vice-President of the United States to vote when presiding over the Senate as President of the Senate? The Constitution designates the Vice President of the United States as "President of the Senate." In practical terms, it is not possible today for the Vice President to preside over the Senate at all times and a "President Pro Tem" is selected. However, when the Vice President is presiding as President of the Senate AND the vote is TIED, then the Vice President casts a vote and breaks the tie. This occurred when then Vice Presiden Al Gore broke a tie in 1994 for the Clinton Economic Plan to pass the Senate.
