The Vice President is the President of the Senate. While this job is often delegated to a Senator, to act as president pro tempore, the Vice President has the actual job. The responsibility of the President of the Senate, whether the VP or the president pro tempore, is to cast a deciding vote in cases of a tie. However, the VP can only cast a vote at that time, while the president pro tempore can vote in all occasions a normal senator can. Thus the president pro tempore essentially has 2 votes, with only one used in most cases.
