What is a Vice President's constitutional responsibility?
The vice-president has two responsibilities. 1) The vice-president shall replace the president in cases where he is not able to execute the duties of the office due to illness, resignation or death. 2) He shall vote to break any ties in the Senate. Since its conception, the role of casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate has been exercised 242 times. His title shall be President of the Senate, a hollow title because he has no duties except for the two stated above. Traditionally the vice president is not present while the senate is meeting. He may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he acts only as an agent of the president.
