| | President pro tempore of the United States Senate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | Because of the smaller size of the Senate and because Senate rules of procedure give more power to individual senators, the President Pro Tem is not a powerful position especially in comparison to the Speaker of the House of Representatives or even the party leaders of the Senate. |
 | | Since 1947, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate has been third in line to succeed to the US presidency in the case of death or resignation, after the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. |
 | | Before the Republicans regained control of the Senate after the congressional elections of November 5, 2002, the President Pro Tempore was Robert Byrd of West Virginia. |
