'''''Pro tempore''''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|p|r|oʊ|_|ˈ|t|ɛ|m|p|ər|i|,_|-|eɪ}}), abbreviated '''''pro tem''''' or '''''p.t.''''',<ref>{{cite web|title=pro tempore|url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pro-tempore|publisher=Dictionary.com, LLC|access-date=20 December 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=pro tempore|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pro%20tempore|publisher=Merriam-Webster, Incorporated|access-date=20 December 2017}}</ref> is a [[List of Latin phrases|Latin phrase]] which best translates to 'for the time being' in English. This phrase is often used to describe a person who acts as a ''[[locum|locum tenens]]'' ('placeholder') in the absence of a superior, such as the [[President pro tempore of the United States Senate|president ''pro tempore'' of the U.S. Senate]], who acts in place of the president of the United States Senate—a position that is held ''[[ex officio]]'' by the current [[vice president of the United States]]. Legislative bodies can have one or more [[President pro tempore|''pro tempore'' for the presiding officer]]. These positions ostensibly go to legislators experienced in floor debate who are familiar with the content and application of relevant rules and precedents and who have a reputation for fairness among their colleagues.{{Citation needed|date=March 2017}} The phrase is also used to describe officers appointed on a temporary basis, prior to the formalisation of their appointments.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oxford Learners Dictionaries |url=https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/pro-tem_1}}</ref><br />
