Dick Cheney is President of the Senate, Robert Byrd is the President of the Senate Pro-Tempore. That means that if Cheney is unable to complete his duties as President of the Senate, Byrd carries out The President of the Senate's duties until Cheney is well enough to return.

President Pro Tem. The Vice President is the Senate President.

No, Senator Byrd of West Virginia is neither the President nor the President Pro-Tem of the Senate. The President of the Senate is always the Vice President, or Vice President Cheney at this time, who presides over and casts the deciding vote in case of a tie.

No. The Vice President is always the President of the Senate & may cast a vote only to break a tie.

No. Only pro-tem... the VP is president of the Senate.
MLK is rolling over in his grave. A former Klansman is #3. That is what happens when you vote for Democrats.

Well now there's a scary thought...former clansman, who is what? 90 or so years old, and goes on endlessly with his little lymirics while on the senate floor. Are we sure he knows his own name?

He was appointed for life.
