The US Constitution cites the role of President pro tempore as a Acting President Of The US Senate in the absence of the Vice-President Of The United States. It did not intend for the President Pro Tempore to serve any other role.

Not only presently is the standing President pro tempore a member of the U.S. Senate, they also direct and indirectly (as an ex officio member) appoint various congressional officers, members of certain commissions, advisory boards participants, and committee personnel. With a range of reports to the US Senate, this officeholder is the official House recipient. All is the preceding is not just a violation of the US Constitution, it violates the ideals of Representative Governance.

The following are not specifically cited in the US Constitution.

1. Standing President pro tempore. This position must be filled only when there is an absence in the VPOTUS Office.

2. Additional duties for the President Pro Tempore. Since this office is supposed to be chosen only when there is a vacancy in the VPOTUS Position, the point of additional duties become moot. The President pro tempore should only have one role: to preside over the U.S. Senate.

3. The assignment of extra responsibilities and authority to any legislator (state or federal) in comparison to what other legislators receive blatantly undermines the Representative ideals of governance. All legislators must have the exact same role and authority at all times.

4. The President pro tempore has to be a US Senator. As a matter of fact, this is not consistent with the principles of Representarianism. No US senator should be eligible for a promotion in the US Senate even in an emergency. The President pro tempore cannot previously be a member or participant in any branch of government. Just as importantly this officeholder cannot be previously conducting core functions in either the judiciary, legislature, or executive branch.

The U.S. Constitution calls for the U.S. Senate to choose the President pro tempore. While the US Constitution must be amended to not allow House Of Representatives members to choose its officers since its officers serve a full-time role, this nation's charter does not need to be amended in the choosing of President pro tempore. In lieu of the fact this position is only supposed to be a temporary position, hence its name pro tempore, the US Constitution must be followed and the members of the US Senate must choose the President pro tempore. In an emergency it is best that the officeholders closest to this position do the choosing.

5. The President pro tempore has all the authority, privileges, and duties of the Vice-President (President Of The U.S. Senate) with the exception of voting. They cannot cast a vote just to break a tie on a pending bill. If a bill is tied in votes and the President pro tempore is presiding, that bill has to be considered defeated. It cannot be enacted into law because all bills need a majority to be passed. The President pro tempore should only have authority, privileges, and duties of the Vice-President (President Of The United States) that pertains to presiding over the United States Senate. All other duties normally assigned to the VPOTUS should not be assigned to the President pro tempore.
