abc Well the President Pro Tempore has quite a few responsibilities, one being third in line of Presidential Succession (if the office of President of the US becomes empty the it goes to the Vice President, then the Speaker of the House, the the President Pro Tempore). The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate, but due to him being absent at times because of other obligations having to do with being Vice President we have a President Pro Tempore (basically meaning President Temporarily (it's latin)). The President Pro Tempore is authorized to do certain things during the absence of the Vice President like ruling on points of order, he/she is also one of the 2 people that are over the 25th. amendment to the US Constitution which deals with presidential ability or disability (the other person is the Speaker of the House), he/she is the legally the person who receives various reports to the Senate (things like the War Powers Act (which stipulates that the President has to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing us to war)), he/she in a joint effort with the Speaker of the House can make the President call Congress back into session. The President Pro Tempore also deals with the appointment of many congressional officers, committees, some commissions, and advisory boards.

He is a voting member of the Senate and so shares the duties of all US Senators.

The position is mostly ceremonial and is awarded to the majority member with the most seniority in the Senate.
