Answer 2

I believe the answer is: to act as a ceremonial role within the senate.

Pro tempore refers to the authority given to certain individuals in case the original holder of the authority is unable to present. Pro Tempore's relationship to the head of the senate is very similar with vice president's relationship with the president.
