The vice president does not "run" the senate. However he is the president of the senate and can vote, if the senate vote is tied. In a way the senate majority leader can control the senate in that all bills can only reach the floor to be debated and voted on if he or she says so. Harry Reid, a democrat, now "controls" the senate
There is no new president if the vice president dies Wrong. Just because the president and the vice president die, does not mean we will not have a president. Someone has to run this country of we would be in complete chaos. It would more than likely be the speaker of the house. And if that doesn't happen, then we would re-elect.
Eisenhower and Nixon served two terms as Presidentand VP; 1953-1961.
The Vice President becomes President if the President dies, becomes incapacitated (say, a stroke or an accident), or is otherwise unable to carry out their office. If there is a chance the President can return to office, the VP will likely not take over completely, but will act as "President pro tem". ("Pro tem" is a fancy, Latin way of saying "for now".)A Vice President can also run for President, when the President they served under prepares to leave office. Al Gore did this, as did George H.W. Bush, and Richard Nixon (who served under Eisenhower) in 1960. A Vice President who takes over for a sitting President (like Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman and others) may choose to run for re-election.
Technically, no one. Ford was made the Vice President as per the 25th amendment to the constitution, and became the President when Nixon resigned.
Geraldine Ferraro (1984). The presidential nominee was Walter Mondale.
Yes, and he will. Biden ran for senate and Vice President at the same time.
The Vice President's power over the senate is only to break a tie and to run the senate meeting.
The Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (or Speaker of the House) is the presiding officer of the chamber. As of 2012, the Speaker of the House is Republican John Boehner of Ohio.
John C. Calhoun was the vice-president before Van Buren. Calhoun resigned to run for the Senate.
Not since 1804.. After the 12th amendment was ratified in 1804, candidates for president and vice-president run as a team and the same electors elect both of them in separate ballots. It could in theory happen again if the electoral college votes ends in a 269-269 tie, so that the House decides the President and the Senate elects the vice-president.
The Speaker of the house will become President.
If no candidate for vice-president gets a majority of electoral votes, the Senate elects the vice-president from the among the two highest in list of people getting votes from the electors. One would expect that they would chose the running mate of the new president, but they are not required to do so.
No. The EOP is headed by the White House Chief of Staff.
They run as a team and are both elected by the same electors who have pledged to support their candidacy. The only way they could not be from the same party would be if no candidate received a majority of the electoral vote so the House of Representatives chose the President and the Senate chose the Vice-President.

Gerald R. Ford
No, Joe Biden cannot run for both Vice President and US Senate at the same time. The Constitution does not allow individuals to hold both positions simultaneously. If Biden were to be selected as the Vice Presidential candidate, he would have to resign from his Senate seat.
