He is not... he heads the senate but does not have a vote unless it comes down to a tie breaker.. today to pass a bill you need 60% of votes therefor the vice president is no longer breaks a tie.. The speaker of the house is differently the second most powerful person.. he introduces bills onto the floor and pursues his party to side together on issues..
