Vice Presidents/Senate Presidents comparison

Please note that though the 12th Amendment was ratified during the Jefferson administration, Washington was an independent supported by Federalists and serving alongside a Federalist Vice President, and Aaron Burr, Jefferson's original Vice President, was of Jefferson's party, so only during the Adams administration was there an opposition VP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.200.96 (talk)

United States

I'm confused .... maybe I'm reading this wrong, but the section for the United States says:

"In practice, freshman senators are traditionally assigned the role of presiding over the Senate in order to learn Senate procedure."

However, this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_pro_tempore_of_the_United_States_Senate states: "by custom, the President pro tempore is the most senior senator in the majority party"

Is there a discrepancy?
