The elected temporary leader of the Senate when the Vice President of the US cannot attend Senate meetings?
president pro tempore
If the president pro tempore of the Senate cannot assume the office of the president who is next in line to take over?
If you are asking about the Presidential succession list, The Secretary of State is next in line after the President pro tempore. If the president pro tempore dies or resigns his office , a new pro tempore would be elected by the Senate. If a senator is too sick to serve but does not resign, nothing is done.
A member of congress is immune from this when the house and senate is in session and when is he going to or returning from house or senate meetings?
Arrest from anything except a felony or treason Also they cannot be sued for anything they say while they are on the floor
What does the 27th amendment state?
The 27 Amendment states, "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." Basically it means that if the 1/3 of the Congress and ALL of the House of Representatives vote to have their pay raised, they don't get a pay raise until after elections in two years. The two years that is given is so that the citizens can carefully consider whether or not to vote for the raises. It was originally meant to prevent the Congressmen from getting pay raises every year. However, Congress voted, and won, itself a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). The COLA does not count as a raise so therefore Congress can vote itself little raises that nobody will notice every two years. I hope that helped! If you just google it it's all over the Internet.
