Answer:

Under the Constitution, the vice president serves as the president of the Senate and presides over the Senate's daily proceedings. As one of the Senate's constitutional officers, only the Vice President has the authority to cast a tie-breaking vote.

hope this helps!

Answer:

Other than to succeed to the presidency upon the death or resignation of a president, a vice president's only constitutional duty is to preside over the Senate. Vice presidents cannot vote in the Senate, except to break a tie, nor may they formally address the Senate, except with the senators' permission.

Hope this helped, also put this in your own words because I got it from Google.
