"The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided" (U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3). Since 1789, 272 tie-breaking votes have been cast.

The vice president presides over the Senate only on ceremonial occasions or when a tie-breaking vote may be needed. When the vice president is absent, the president pro tempore presides over the Senate.

What effect did the Great Schism have on Catholicism?
Nana76 [90]
When we speak of the Great Schism<span>, we can actually be referring to one of </span>two schisms<span>. The first is also called the </span>East-West Schism<span> and happened in 1054 when the Byzantine Church broke from the Roman Catholic Church. The second is also referred to as the </span>Great Western Schism<span> and happened between 1378 and 1417 when a pope in Rome and a second pope in Avignon, France, proclaimed themselves to be the real pope. Both schisms </span>significantly affected<span> the Roman Catholic Church. Though, typically, that which is called the Great Schism refers to the </span>East-West Schism.

<span>The </span>greatest effect<span> of the </span>East-West Schism<span> was the creation of two separate churches that had previously been unified under one church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. But more specifically, the schism had developed over time due to "doctrinal, theological, linguistic, political, and geographic" differences; therefore, the schism also affected Catholicism by </span>solidifying these differences<span> (</span>New World Encyclopedia,<span> "Great Schism"</span>).

<span>The greatest </span>theological and political difference<span> concerns the belief in the</span><span> authority of the pope</span><span>. The Roman Catholic Church holds that, as the successor of Saint Peter, the pope holds all authority over the Church. However, the Eastern Church feels the title of pope to be </span>only an honorary one, so the church believes the pope has no authority to "determine policy" for all jurisdictions in the empire ("Great Schism").

A second significant theological difference concerns the<span> objection</span><span> of the</span><span>insertion of the<span> filioque</span> clause</span><span> in the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is the statement of the Catholic Church's faith. The </span>filioque<span> clause refers to a specific statement of faith in the creed concerning the Holy Trinity; more specifically, the statement can be interpreted to mean that the Holy Spirit comes only from the Father or from both the Father and the Son. It is referred to as the filioque clause because the Latin word filioque translates to mean "and from the son." The </span>Eastern Church<span> changed their </span>creed to read<span>, "We believe in the Holy Spirit ... who proceeds from the Father," whereas the </span>Roman Catholic creed reads<span>, "We believe in the Holy Spirit ... who proceeds from the Father and the Son" ("Great Schism"; </span>"Filioque Clause"<span>)</span>

Harlamova29_29 [7]
The correct answer is disheveled. 
The word disheveled means untidy, unruly, unkempt, scruffy, messy, etc. It is usually used with a reference to either hair or clothing. It comes from French, where chevel means hair, so descheveler means to uncover hair. Over time, when it was incorporated into English, it got the meaning it has even today.
