Which of the following is TRUE of the role of the vice president as the president of the Senate? A. The vice president casts his vote only on important legislation. B. The vice president will occasionally preside over important Senate meetings. C. The vice president’s role as the president of the Senate is not specifially stated in the Constitution. D.

Other than to succeed to the presidency upon the death or resignation of a president, a vice president's only constitutional duty is to preside over the Senate. Vice presidents cannot vote in the Senate, except to break a tie, nor may they formally address the Senate, except with the senators' permission. (C)?
So the VP does preside over Senate meetings, but can only vote to break a tie, like you said. I think B is part of the duties, since the VP does preside over the Senate
