Unfortunately he presides over the Senate, he's not the President of the Senate.
So he doesn't make the rules or determine sessions, just a tie-breaker. Which is good, but the establishment just whips up an extra vote so it's largely symbolic.
Beg to differ.
"but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided"
You're right, but the Senate rules make it an office with no power.
