                        PRESIDENTS PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE

             FROM THE FIRST CONGRESS TO BEGINNING OF SECOND SESSION OF 
                           THE ONE HUNDRED FOURTH CONGRESS

            ------------------------------------------------------------

            [In earlier years the appointment or election of a President 
                pro tempore was held by the Senate to be for the 
                occasion only, so that more than one appears in several 
                sessions and in others none were chosen. Since Mar. 12, 
                1890, however, they have served until ``the Senate 
                otherwise ordered.'']
