Who has more power the speaker of house or the president pro tempore of the senate?

Answer 1

The Speaker of the house has more power than the president pro tempore. In the constitutional succession, the speaker of the house is third after the president, and vice president become deceased.

Answer 2

The relative power of these positions in their respective bodies is similar. Both are full voting members and both represent the majority party. However, the president pro tempore position is more ceremonial, since it is the custom to elect the majority party member with the most seniority in the Senate and he may not be the most influential,
whereas the House speaker is the acknowledged leader of the House.

Answer 3

I would say the House Speaker. The president pro tempore is somewhat an honorary position- it is given to the majority party member with the most seniority , not necessarily the most powerful member.

Answer 4

to political man
