		When we consider that the vice president used to be the Senate's regular presiding officer, we can better understand why the Constitution further provided that in the absence of the vice president the Senate could choose a president pro tempore to perform the duties of the chair.
		Pro tempore is a Latin term meaning "for the time being"; thus, the occupant of the position was conceived as a temporary presiding officer.
		Since vice presidents presided routinely in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Senate thought it necessary to choose a president pro tempore only for the limited periods when the vice president might be ill or otherwise absent.

	Capitol Questions
		Until the shift in majority control of the Senate to the Democrats on June 6, 2001, the post of president pro tem was held by Senator Strom Thurmond (R-SC).
		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.

		If there was no President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives would serve, and the line of succession would then proceed through the cabinet officers in the order their departments were created.
		The custom of the Senate had been to select a president pro tempore only when the Vice-President was absent, and thus there were long stretches of time (especially since Congress did not sit in session all year around) during which the Senate had no president pro tempore.
		The Senate had been relying upon a gimmick under which the Vice-President would voluntarily leave the Senate chamber just before the end of a session so that a president pro tempore could be named before adjournment, but not all Vice-Presidents were willing to play along (especially when the opposition was the majority party).
