Answer: The Vice President

Explanation:

According to Article I, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, the Vice President is the President of the Senate, however he or she can not vote in matters of the chamber, such as in the case to approve legislation, unless when there is a tie, that is to say, when there is a 50-50 party split in the Senate.

If the Vice President ever happens to be absent, he or she should be replaced by the president pro tempore, which usually is the longest-serving member from the majority party.

vodomira [7]
The main reason conflict has broken out in Northern Ireland is because of its unification issues. There was a divide between unionists, usually people who wanted to remain within the United Kingdom and were protestants and the nationalists who wanted to unify with the Republic of Ireland and were Catholics. There was constant tension as it was said the unionists mistreated the nationalists and violence soon broke out. Although the Northern Ireland conflict is technically supposed to be finished, sporadic violence still breaks out.
