Kamala Harris has tied the record for the most tie-breaking votes in Senate history – a brief overview of what vice presidents do

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 8, 2023

More recently, she made history again by casting her 31st tie-breaking vote in the Senate, matching only one other vice president’s record for such votes.

Key Points: 
  • More recently, she made history again by casting her 31st tie-breaking vote in the Senate, matching only one other vice president’s record for such votes.
  • John C. Calhoun, who was vice president from 1825 to 1832, needed all eight years of his term to reach that number.
  • However, this distinction says more about the Senate than the amount of power the vice president actually wields.

The ‘most insignificant’ office?

    • Article I, Section 3 says that the vice president “shall be President of the Senate but shall have no Vote” except in the event of a tie.
    • Since 1789, only 299 tie-breaking votes have been cast, and 12 vice presidents, including current President Joe Biden, never cast a single one.
    • The beginning of Article II, Section 1 explains how vice presidents are elected, which was later revised by the 12th Amendment.
    • Woodrow Wilson’s vice president, Thomas Marshall, quipped after he retired: “I don’t want to work … [but] I wouldn’t mind being Vice President again.”

The ‘last voice in the room’

    • Wilson’s successor as president, Warren Harding, had unconventional views about the importance of the role of the vice president.
    • Coolidge later became the first vice president in history to attend Cabinet meetings on a regular basis.
    • In 1923, Harding died, likely of a heart attack, and Coolidge succeeded him as president.
    • For the 1960 presidential election, two-term Vice President Richard Nixon faced off against Sen. John F. Kennedy.
    • When Biden picked Harris as his running mate, he said he “asked Kamala to be the last voice in the room,” to “[c]hallenge [his] assumptions if she disagrees,” and to “[a]sk the hard questions.”

An ally in an increasingly divided Senate

    • Over the years, the Senate has made various procedural changes to the filibuster, limiting when it can be used.
    • The end result of these reforms is that the Senate is now empowered to do more with just a simple majority.
    • In addition, in recent years, the Senate has become increasingly divided.
