Whati s the story being the removal of the "ie Vice President" line. This was mentioned on the previous page but with no further discussion that I saw on the matter. Is there a reason for it and if so, what is the expected benefit? What is the downside risk to confusion and such forth?

Basically, it would allow the dean to appoint someone else if he doesn't have the time to administer the debates. No one should be forced to administer the senate if he doesn't want to do that.

Senators have 36 hours to object

Basically, it could be interpreted as: "the Speaker can't administer the confirmation hearing even if there is no VP"

A final vote seems sensible to me too, as debate appears to have died on this.
