Who acts in the absence of the president of the senate?

The President of the Senate is the Vice President and he has the special power of being allowed to vote to break a tie. Most of the time, it does not matter who presides over the Senate. There are rules for whose turn it is to speak and nobody in the Senate listens anyway .( Speeches are made for the benefit of the Senate record and for those who watch C-Span.)
