That would be the President of the Senate, an office normally held by the vice-president of the US.
There is no vice president of the Senate. However, the vice president of the United States (currently Joe Biden) serves in the largely ceremonial post of "President of the Senate." He convenes the Senate and votes only if there is a tie.
The 'President Pro Tempore' is the President of the Senate, when the Vice President of the United States is absent.
If the U. S. President dies, resigns or is removed from office, the Vice President immediately becomes the President. If there is no Vice President at that time, the Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives becomes the President. If there is no House Speaker at that time, or if the House Speaker is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the President Pro Tempore of the U. S. Senate, who is by tradition the most senior member of the majority party of the Senate, becomes President. If there is no Senate President Pro Tem at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Secretary of State becomes President. If there is no Secretary of State at that time, or if he/she is unable, unwilling or not qualified to be President, the U. S. Treasury Secretary becomes President (if qualified, willing and able). Whoever becomes President appoints a Vice President after taking office. That person takes office after both houses of Congress approve the appointment.

The President of the Senate is the Vice-President of the United States.
AnswerIf there is a voting tie for the office of the Vice President, the Senate is empowered to choose the Vice President.
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.
The Vice President of the United States of America.
President of the Senate (Vice President)
The vice president. When the office of vice president is vacant it is the president pro tempore.
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.
That would be the President of the Senate, an office normally held by the vice-president of the US.
There is no Vice-president in that case. That office remains vacant and the duties of the Vice-president to preside over the Senate is then handled by the President pro tempore of the Senate.
No one has ever been elected by the Senate to be Vice-President of the United States. If the office of Vice President is vacant, the President apppoints a Vice-President with the advice and consent of the Senate. This is not an election, but a vote of approval. If a candidate slate for President / Vice-President does not obtain a majority of votes in the Electoral College, the decision falls to the House of Representatives, not to the Senate.
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.
