Yea, we need someone to break ties, and there's really no one else in the federal government that it makes sense to do it. If we didn't have that issue then I'd fully support either 1) Giving the PPT the powers of the Vice President or 2) Giving the Vice President the powers of the PPT. Having both seems silly (with the exception of the tie-breaking duty).

Letting the President vote in the Senate is a pretty glaring violation of the separation of powers principle.

Vote Count

Aye: 3 (Lewis, PiT, HappyWarrior)
Nay: 6 (DWTL, Torie, Lief, Bacon King, AndrewCT, SPC)
Abstain (Yet to vote): 1 (Al)

With three in favor, six opposed and one abstaining, the amendment has enough votes to fail. Senators have twenty-four hours to change their minds.
