Section Three provides that the Vice President is the President of the Senate.

( The following section provides for the President pro tempore of the Senate, a Senator elected to the post by the Senate, to preside in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of the President of the United States, but like the Vice President the President pro tempore, traditionally the longest-serving member of the majority party, rarely actually presides over the chamber ; typically the President pro tempore deputizes junior Senators of the majority party to act as presiding officers ).

The Senate may elect a President pro tempore to act in the Vice President's absence.

The President pro tempore, as a member of the Senate, is free to make or break a tie vote like the Speaker of the House, but in the event that the possibility of a tie vote is anticipated the Vice President is routinely on hand to ensure that the Executive Branch's policy preference prevails.

The Chief Justice presides whenever the President of the United States is tried, to avoid the Vice President exercising his duties as President of the Senate and presiding over the trial of the President of the United States.

Although this was probably originally intended to avoid a situation where the Vice President was presiding over a debate that could ultimately result in his promotion to the presidency ( were the President convicted and removed from office ), it also prevents a possibly more likely contemporary scenario, where a President accused of some offense is being tried by the Senate presided over by a Vice President who may well be sympathetic to the President, reducing the independence of the Senate's consideration of the delicate question of whether to remove a sitting chief executive.

On the other hand, nothing prevents the curious circumstance of a Vice President presiding over his own impeachment trial as President of the Senate, should he be impeached ( although this has never happened ).

Thereafter, the votes are opened and counted by the Vice President, as President of the Senate, in a joint session of Congress.
