The President pro tempore of the Senate (the Senator elected as a leader by the other Senators).
In the event that you are mixing up "Speaker pro tempore"of the House of Representatives and "President pro tempore"of the Senate, I will explain both.The Speaker pro tempore is any member of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker of the House to preside over the House. This position is normally delegated to a member of the same political party. The President pro tempore of the Senate is the senior Senator of the majority party and is third in line of succession for the presidency after the Vice President (the President of the Senate) and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The current (as of November, 2007) President pro tempore of the Senate is Robert Byrd (D) West Virginia.
President pro tempore is the presiding officer of US senate. His responsibility is to maintain order and decorum of the house and its regulations. Normally the senior most senator from majority party is elected as President pro tempore.
If the President of the United States is removed from office, the Vice President immediately becomes the new President. Then, the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the President if the Vice President is unable to assume the role. The President Pro Tempore of the Senate would be next in line if both the Vice President and the Speaker of the House are unable to take on the presidency.
The President pro tempore of the Senate becomes the President. He/she is the leader of the Senate when the vice president can not attend. If him/her dies also then the Secretary of State becomes President.
The official titles of each presiding officer is: The Senate: Vice President The House of Representatives: Speaker of the House. When the VP is not available, they have a person who is called the President Pro Tempore.
