However, the VP is allowed to break a tie-vote and there have been occasions when the VP decided some relatively important votes.

How does the president and the vice president get into the office?
I assume the Secret Service opens the door for them.
But seriously, a typical process is as TYPED BELOW AS A LIST:
- Someone who wishes to be President has a study performed to show the feasibility of such a quest.
- He/She joins the "race" to become his/her party's nominee for President.
- The candidate builds his/her popularity in his/her party via advertising, endorsements, debates, rallies, etc.
- Through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating with his/her party's national convention, the candidate wins his/her party's presidential nomination.
- By this point the nominee will have selected someone to run for the vice presidency as his/her running mate, and he/she will have agreed. Before the end of the national convention the party votes to approve the vice presidential nomination.
- The popularity building (and, opponent bashing) continues, but instead of party members competing for the party nomination, they are party nominees competing for the presidency and vice presidency.
- Most of the minor parties, those that are not the Democratic or Republican Parties, need to go through a different procedure for each state to get their nominees' electors onto the general election ballot in as many states as possible. The ballots in most states do not identify each party's electors by name; they show only the names of the party's presidential and vice presidential nominees.
- On the day after the first Monday of November of 1848 and every fourth year after 1848, each state appoints its share of electors by whatever means they choose. Every state in every presidential/ vice-presidential election since the Civil War has chosen as its means for appointing electors some form of popular vote method. The number of electors each state may choose is equal to the total number of US Senators and Representatives to which the state will be entitled on the next Inauguration Day. Each state is always entitled to two US Senators, and their share of US Representatives, which is based on census results, is announced to the state by the US Census Bureau before the end of the January following each official US Census. Beginning in 1964, the District of Columbia has been allowed to appoint the number of electors to which it would be entitled if it were a state, but never more than that of the smallest state.
- On the sixth Monday after Election Day, each state's electors meet within their own state. Each elector may cast one vote for President and one vote for Vice President. Each elector is prohibited from casting more than one of their votes for residents of their home state. Every elector signs a certificate of vote that shows a list of everyone receiving votes for President and how many votes for President each received and a separate list of everyone who received votes for Vice President and how many votes for Vice President each received. They send their Certificate(s) of Vote, along with their credentials proving them to be duly appointed electors, to the President of the US Senate, who is also the US Vice President, with copies going to the state's Secretary of State and the US National Archives.
- On the following 6th of January the Vice President, as the Senate President, counts all the electoral votes before a joint session of Congress and makes the official announcement of the winners.
- Several meetings between the incumbent President and the President-Elect take place between the 6th and the 20th of January to ensure that the transfer of power happens as smoothly as possible.
- On the 20th of January, the four-year terms of the new President and Vice President begin at noon EST (the Constitution specifies only "noon"; EST, the local standard time zone for Washington in January, is assumed). The first thing they do after the noon transition is to take the Oath of Office that the Constitution requires. Administering of the Oath is traditionally done the the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.
Is the vice president of the US a girl?
