President of the Senate

   

The President of the Senate is the title often given to the presiding officer, or chairman, of a senate.

In many countries, the Senate Presidency is a largely symbolic position. In countries with a presidential system of government it is often bestowed on the Vice President. In nations without a Vice President the Senate President is often a very high-ranking figure in the order of presidential succession.
