Senate

• The U.S. vice president, although not a Senate member, is the presiding officer of the Senate, according to the Constitution. The vice president may not debate and only votes to break a tie.

• The president pro tempore is a senior member of the majority party chosen to preside in the absence of the Senate president. This is a mostly ceremonial position lacking real power.

• Majority and minority floor leaders

— The majority floor leader is the most influential member of the Senate and often the majority party spokesperson.

— The minority floor leader performs the same role as the House minority leader.

• Whips serve the same role as whips in the House of Representatives.
