Then, they would send a letter to the speaker of the House and president pro tempore of the Senate saying so.

然后，他们要函告众议院议长和参议院临时议长。

But after Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the president pro tempore, read the tally, Republicans leaped up from their desks and applauded.

但在临时议长、艾奥瓦州参议员查尔斯·格拉斯利宣读投票结果后，共和党人都跳了起来鼓掌欢呼。

Today, the speaker of the House of Representatives would succeed the vice president as president. Then would come the president pro tempore of the Senate. And then, the secretary of state.

现在，众议院议长将接替副总统担任总统，随后是参议院临时主席，然后是国务卿。

Basically it goes like this, the vice-president along with the majority of the cabinet can send a letter to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House.

基本上流程是这样的，副总统和大多数内阁成员可以向参议院临时议长和众议院议长致函。
