Senator Chuck Grassley was honored to be sworn in once again as President pro tempore of the United States Senate. Grassley previously held the position from 2019 to 2021.
This constitutional leadership role is traditionally held by the most senior member of the majority party and places me third in the line of presidential succession, following the Vice President and Speaker of the House. Senator Grassley is only the second Iowan in history to serve as President pro tempore, following in the footsteps of Senator Albert B. Cummins, who served in this role from 1919 to 1925.
Iowa is number one in the Senate as a result of my leadership. Grassley says he is looking forward to delivering for our great state as President pro tempore and Senate Judiciary Chairman this Congress.
