And remember as VP, Ryan will preside over and have the deciding vote in Congress. - mindmeld That's not accurate. In any way. - Roadwalker From Wikipedia, RW. He has the decided vote in the Senate. I was a bit off, but mostly right. He does preside over Congress, but he only has the deciding vote in the Senate. Check it out below: Under the Constitution, the Vice President is President of the United States Senate.[4] In that capacity, he or she is allowed to vote in the Senate when necessary to break a tie. While Senate customs have created supermajority rules that have diminished this Constitutional power, the Vice President still retains the ability to influence legislation (e.g. the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005).[4][5][6]Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment, the Vice President presides over the joint session of Congress when it convenes to count the vote of the Electoral College.[2] en.wikipedia.org
