As the Senate president, the vice president presides over its deliberations (or delegates this task to a member of the Senate), but is allowed to vote only when it is necessary to break a tie.[3] While this vote-casting prerogative has been exercised chiefly on legislative issues, it has also been used to break ties on the election of Senate officers, as well as on the appointment of Senate committees.[4] In this capacity, the vice president also presides over joint sessions of Congress.

Could it be that the VP can actually be the LEADER OF THE SENATE in the way it might have been intended, rather than have the LEADER OF A POLITICAL PARTY reside over the Senate.
The VP could decide what bills would be brought up.
The VP could decide what debate would be scheduled.
Is this something missing in the protocols that would ensure that the President of the United States has his nominations brought to a vote, and his programs debated and enacted.
methinks it is ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD
