vance can break ties if he needs to, but that probably won't happen much
that was before political parties
after that though, you had majority/minority leaders
I think most legislatures around the world function about the same, in terms of having a few ceremonial roles
but the power being the agreed upon leadership
which; because of how the game works, means he can call for a rollcall vote
and basically nothing else
if he wants, he can choose not to designate that power, but that just means nothing will get done
would be interesting if he gets really into being at Senate meetings
I don't really know much about Vance, other than the couple things he did once the election started
I found this funny
I knew this was a thing, but I like how well documented it is

With Gaetz having resigned his seat in the House, if the Senate tries to reject his AG confirmation, DeSantis can always appoint Gaetz to fill Rubio’s Senate seat. Would be interesting to see senators have to choose between Gaetz as AG or as their colleague for years to come.
