The President Pro Tempora
President Pro Tempore
a president is chief executive and chooses government officials with approval with the senate. A VICE PRESIDENT is an officer in government who is below the president in rank
If the president's office is vacated, the line of succession is activated, which designates the vice president to assume the presidency. If the vice president is unable to serve, the next in line is the Speaker of the House, followed by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Cabinet members in the order their departments were created. This ensures continuity of government and leadership in the executive branch.
To begin the process of impeaching the President, a charge of misconduct is filed against the president by the House of Representatives. A majority vote must pass the House of Representatives for the process to be started. After the charges are filed, the Senate votes. Two-thirds of the senators must vote for conviction. The president may be removed from office and never allowed to hold a government position again if he is found guilty.
The Legislative branch of the U.S. government does not have one lone officer at the top of the pile, the way that the executive branch has. The Vice President of the U.S. is also the President of the Senate, but he gets no vote unless the Senate is deadlocked in a tie, and other than that, he has no power over that body at all. "Below" the V.P. in the Senate are the majority and the minority leaders, who do have SOME real power in the Senate. The Speaker of the House is the top spot in the lower house, the U.S. House of Representatives. Below that person are the majority and minority leaders. In an interesting aside, the Speaker of the House is next in-line for the presidency in the unprecedented event that both the President and the V.P. die. All officers are elected by their respective legislative bodies and by the political parties within those bodies, and are not subject to confirmation or veto by any other government body. The short answer is that the Speaker leads the House and the Senate Majority Leader leads the Senate, but the reality is that what they are really trying to do is "herd cats", so there's not much actual leadership.
The highest ranking official in the legislature in the United States is the President. Just below the President is the Vice President.
In the Senate. The link below has a picture of the Senate at the impeachment trial of President Clinton (you can also see that the Senate is being presided over by Chief Justice Rehnquist--he is easy to recognize because of the stripes on his black judicial robe).
The order of leadership in a government typically begins with the head of state, such as a president or monarch, followed by the head of government, often a prime minister. Below them are various cabinet members or ministers responsible for specific departments. Additionally, there may be legislative leaders, such as speakers of the house or senate, who play crucial roles in the law-making process. This structure can vary significantly depending on the country's political system.
Below the Vice President in the U.S. presidential line of succession is the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Following the Speaker, the President pro tempore of the Senate ranks next, followed by the members of the Cabinet, starting with the Secretary of State. This hierarchy is established to ensure continuity of government in case of vacancy in the presidency.
The Vice President of the United States serves as President of the Senate and may break tie votes in the Senate.The Vice President also becomes the new President if the President dies, resigns, or is removed from office.Those are his only duties under the Constitution, but it has become customary for the president to ask the vice-president to take on special assignments on behalf of the President or to represent the President at special events.Under the Constitution, the Vice president has only two responsibilities:Become President if the President dies in office, andServe as President of the US Senate.
