:As to presiding over the Senate, the VP never goes to Capital Hill, unless he needs to be on hand for potential tie-breaking vote, which is rare. It's strictly a ceremonial post that's occupied usually by freshmen Senators so they get to learn parliamentary rules and procedures by the Senate Parliamentarian who tutors them over their right shoulder while a lone Senator comes to floor to rage on some important minority issue while everyone else is in an important committee meeting.
