Best Answer

The Vice President of the United States acts as the President of the Senate, but he has no vote except to break ties. This is his only official role.

Only the first few Vice Presidents actually acted as the President of the Senate; the VP only shows up when the vote is likely to be a tie. The rest of the time, the majority leader of the Senate acts as the "President Pro Tem" (or "pro tempore", "of the moment") and manages the day to day business of the Senate.
