 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, center-left, former D-R, est.1829); Rep = Republican Party (conservative, center-right, est.1854);

 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.
