The President pro tempore is a high-ranking senator who presides over the United States Senate in the absence of the Vice President. Typically, this position is held by the longest-serving member of the majority party. The President pro tempore also has the authority to delegate responsibilities and may sign legislation and official documents. While the role is largely ceremonial, it signifies the senator's seniority and leadership within the Senate.
