Legislative
The Vice President is also the President of the Senate, but he can only vote if the other senators are tied.
I'm assuming this is referring to the US (other countries have Senates too!). In the US Senate, the Vice President is normally considered the President of the Senate, and he is part of the Executive branch. However, when the VP isn't around, the oldest member of the Senate from the majority party, currently Senator Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, is considered the "president pro tempore" ("president for the time") of the Senate. He would be part of the Legislative branch.
The Senate can remove Federal officials from office. The Senate is responsible for initiating an impeachment of a President of the United States. The Senate can also vote to have a member of the Senate removed for misconduct.

No. The Secretary of State is a member of the President's Cabinet, and part of the Executive branch of government.
