Best Answer

When the Vice President is not in the Senate, which is most of the time, his place is taken by the President pro tempore of the Senate, who is usually the most senior Senator. But in actual practice, the floor of the Senate is normally presided over by junior senators to enable them to master the parliamentary procedures.
