Who is has top position in the senate?

Officially, the Vice President presides over the Senate but can only vote in case of a tie. Usually, the V.P is not there so the president pro tempore stands over the Senate (usually an senior member of the Senate). It is basically an honorary position, and even the pro tempore is replaced by junior members of the Senate to understand what is going on in the Senate. However, the majority leader (leader of the majority party in the Senate) wields the most power, similar to the power of the Speaker of the House


Who pro tempore presides if vice-president is absent?

The president pro tempore of the Senate is elected by the Senate, and by tradition the majority party elects their party member who has the longest seniority in the Senate. He is a voting member of the Senate unlike the VP. Most of the time who presides over the Senate is irrelevant.
