Is a president pro tempore a majority party member with the most seniority?
Yes. He actually is elected by the Senate so of course he is a member of the majority party and the custom is to vote for the person with the most seniority.Like most things regarding the running of the US Senate, there is no legal requirement that the President Pro Tempore be a member of the Senate Majority party. As the position is filled by a straight majority vote, however, it almost always falls to one in the current majority party.

What are the advantages of the seniority system?
Its Good When It Comes Down to picking whos first...Seniority is very important in Congress. Under the seniority system, committee chairmanships and other influential positions are decided on the basis of how long a member has been in Congress. The seniority system was created to weaken the power of the Speaker of the House, which had become almost dictatorial. The system provides for an orderly hierarchy and ensures that committee chairmen are sufficiently experienced. Seniority also has its drawbacks: it limits the opportunities for talented young members of Congress to make their mark. Seniority also makes Congress less responsive to reform because power is concentrated in the hands of older, established members.
