This week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer nominated Democratic U.S. Senator Patty Murray of Washington to the role of President Pro Tem. Murray is coming off a fresh re-election win over Republican Tiffany Smiley. If appointed, Murray would be third in line for the American presidency should the President and/or Vice President be unable to serve as well as presiding over the U.S. Senate.
