Answer:

In the case of a tie vote on a bill, the vice president has the casting vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

A casting vote is a vote exercise by someone, in this case, the vice president, to decide over a tie on a legislature body. The vice president only votes in that case, if not he/she only presides the sessions of the Senate or joint sessions of the Congress.

I hope this answer helps you.
