A resolution notifying the President of the United States of the election of a President pro tempore.

SRES 4 is a routine procedural resolution notifying the President of the United States that Senator Charles E. Grassley has been elected as President pro tempore of the Senate. This position, held by the most senior member of the majority party, presides over Senate sessions in the absence of the Vice President. The resolution serves as a standard formal communication required by Senate rules to inform the executive branch of this leadership appointment. It does not create new laws or policies but completes a mandatory step in Senate organizational procedures following the start of a new Congress.
