No, the President Pro Tempore is generally the Senator in the majority with the most seniority. In some cases this is the oldest senator, but more likely it's the longest serving senator (although I do believe Senator Byrd is the oldest currently serving senator).Under the US Constitution, the Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate. In modern times, the Vice President does not actually preside over the Senate, except on the most rare of occasions or when his vote may be needed to break a tie.In the absence of the Vice President, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate (or his/her designee) presides.
