  • The President Pro Tempore of the Senate: History and Authority of the Office
    Order Code RL30960 The President Pro Tempore of the Senate: History and Authority of the Office Updated April 2, 2008 Christopher M. Davis Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division The President Pro Tempore of the Senate History and Authority of the Office Summary The U.S. Constitution establishes the office of the President pro tempore of the Senate to preside over the Senate in the Vice President’s absence. Since 1947, the President pro tempore has stood third in line to succeed to the presidency, after the Vice President and the Speaker of the House. Although the President pro tempore’s powers are limited and not comparable to those of the Speaker of the House, as the chamber’s presiding officer, he is authorized to perform certain duties. For example, he may decide points of order (subject to appeal) and enforce decorum in the Senate chamber and galleries. Early in the nation’s history, some Presidents pro tempore appointed Senators to standing committees. While they no longer do so, election to the office is considered one of the highest honors bestowed by the Senate, and Presidents pro tempore are traditionally accorded a somewhat larger salary and allowances for staff. Eighty-seven different Senators have served as President pro tempore. Sixty- one served prior to 1900, when Vice Presidents routinely presided over the chamber and Presidents pro tempore were elected to serve only for limited periods when the Vice President was absent or ill, or the office was vacated. Frequently, several different Presidents pro tempore were chosen in a single congressional session, “on the basis of their personal characteristics, popularity, and reliability.” (See Robert C.

  • South Dakotans in the United States Senate: a Composite Portrait
    Copyright © 1981 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. South Dakotans in the United States Senate: A Composite Portrait LARRY PRESSLER Since statehood in 1889, twenty-three South Dakotans have served in the United States Senate. These senators have been diverse in their viewpoints and have offered different and often significant contributions to the American political experience. A composite review of these various individuals suggests some of the political preferences and propensities of South Dakota as a state and, perhaps, enhances our understanding of our own political choices. The following biographical details and sketches are based largely on material in standard biographical reference sources.' These sources are supplemented by recollections of the 1. The beginning points for these biographical notes were sketches published in various editions of the CongressioTial Directory, the Biographical Directory of the American Congress, and the Dictionary of American Biography. Most valuable general sources were Herbert S. Schell's History of South Dakota. 2d ed. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1968), and Alan L. Clem's Prairie State Politics: Popular Democracy in South Dakota (Washington, D.C: Public Affairs Press, 1967).
