¹The Vice Presidents formally serve as presidents
of the Senate, but rarely
presides over routine day-to-day debate. Until 1890, the Senate
elected a President
Pro Tempore whenever the Vice President was not in attendance.
When the Vice President returned, the President "Pro Tem" lost his place,
and when the Vice President was
again absent, the Senate again elected a President Pro Tempore. By the standing
order
agreed to on 12 Mar 1890, the Senate declared that the President
Pro Tempore shall hold
office during "the pleasure of the Senate and until another is
elected, and shall execute
the duties thereof during all future absences of the Vice President
until the Senate
does otherwise order."
Party abbreviations: Dem = Democratic Party (liberal,
formerly D-R); Rep = Republican Party (conservative [est.1854 as
anti-slavery]);
- Former parties: D-R = Democratic-Republican
Party (pro-states rights, anti-Federalist, 1794-1829, renamed Dem); Fed
= Federalist Party (conservative, pro-Federal power, 1780's-1815); Whg
= Whig Party (pro-federal govt., anti-Jacksonian, 1834-1854/60)

¹The resolution of Congress on 10 Nov 1775 provided
for a colonel to command two
battalions of Marines authorized, but the highest rank received
by any Marine during
the revolution was major. Samuel Nicholas (s.a.) was appointed "Captain
of Marines" on 28
Nov 1775, and promoted to major on 25 Jun 1776. Because of his
senior status among
other Marine officers of the Revolution, he is numbered as the
first Commandant.
The year 1781 saw Major Nicholas' return to private life. By the
summer of 1781 there
were only three Marine captains and three lieutenants on active
duty, and the overall organization had ceased to exist.
