The President pro tempore is also named in statute as third in the line of succession to the Presidency, right after the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House.
The distinction is due to the fact that the presiding officer of the Senate symbolizes the Vice-President, who is from the executive branch and not a member of the legislature.
In contrast, the presiding officer in the House is either the Speaker or his designee, and therefore brings a great deal of political clout and procedural power to the chair.
