What is the officer called who presides over the senate when the vice president is absent?

The officer who presides in the absence of the Vice-President is called "President pro tempore," an officer chosen by members of the Senate, usually the most senior senator in the majority party. The phrase "pro tempore" means "for the time being". Normally, neither the Vice President of the United States nor the President pro tempore presides; instead, the duty is generally delegated to the junior Senators of the majority party to help them learn parlimentary procedure, since most of the time the major function of the person presiding over the Senate is just to rule on points of order.


What is the presiding officer of the us senate?

Most of the time the senate is presided by the President Pro Tiempor (I may have spelled that wrong) which is a honorary position of the longest serving member of the Senate.
