Langdon[edit]
Why was John Langdon's PPT term broken up during the 1st Congress? --Markles 02:25, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Emeritus?[edit]
What's the basis for this? Many other people have continued as senators after serving as President pro tempore. (Including the ones we mention - Byrd was emeritus from 1995 to 2001, and Thurmond from 1987 to 1995, and again from 2001 to 2003.) The same goes for Styles Bridges (1955-1961), Arthur Vandenberg (1949-1951), and Kenneth McKellar (1947-1949), just in the post-WWII era.
Is this a formal title? If so, a citation would be in order. john k (talk) 18:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Time as senator request[edit]
I feel it would be useful if the time they were senator was added, next to the time as pro tempore. Thoughts? PrairieKid (talk) 05:24, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
Images[edit]
Images should be added to the table. MB298 (talk) 04:19, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
2009-2015[edit]
In the Emeritus section ... (which is peculiar, and maybe redundant) someone wrote that no one was eligible to be President Pro Tempore from 2009-2015.
This is false. Citation: the full list of Presidents Pro-Tempore on this page.
& The Senate website just says tradition is to choose the most senior member of the majority party of the Senate.
I suspect the error may have been vandalism, as the information is not hard to find and those terms correlate with the Obama Administration. Dtibsyh (talk) 04:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
